Who doesn't love a burrito bowl, especially when it contains whole food ingredients and you can whip it up in 15 minutes! It's the NB nutrition way - simple, healthy, quick! If I'm not in the mood to make dinner but still want to fill my body with goodness this is one of my go-to's. It's high in fibre, vegetarian protein and healthy fats from the delicious avocado dressing. It's also a fantastic meal to make when meal prepping as well to enjoy as lunches or a pre-made dinner during busy weeks.

Hey there,
Thank you for the wonderful recipes, do you know of a good substitute for avocado?
