Here’s the thing with this recipe, it has kale in it… But before you throw your computer out the window, this is how you make kale taste good. I’ve said a million times that I believe if you don’t like a particualar food, most of the time it’s just because you haven’t had it prepared correctly or in a way that actually tastes good. I too don’t want to eat boring tasteless food! And I don’t. I love food, I enjoy the flavours and I enjoy eating and this is why I like cooking. I don’t have some crazy passion for cooking, I just like eating, and I like eating tasty food.

“So Liv, I get that to feel the best, we need to look after our guts and we need to eat anti-inflammatory, but… WTF do you actually eat?!”. I get this all the time.

The thing is, a long time ago I decided I was over the “what do I eat stress”. So. Over. It. That said, food has a major impact on my mental health so I know I need to take extra care when it comes to what I eat. After all, if you don’t have happiness, what do you have… But I could no longer dedicate 90% of my brain power to thinking about what to have for lunch on Tuesday… I had more important things to put that mental energy towards.

It was around this time I learnt about the habit loop (from a book called The Power Of Habit which has been pivotal in my self development journey), so basically I thought well if I can just make every eating decision on autopilot, I’ll effortlessly be able to maintain a level of physical and mental health that I’m happy with (which for me are very high standards… I have pretty high expectations out of my life experience haha sue me). And that’s exactly what’s happened. Eating well is effortless, enjoyable and easy, whether I’m at home, at friends places, out to eat or travelling, there is no more struggle).

Anyway I know you’re here for the recipe so I won’t bore you with my life story. But if it does interest you I go into far more detail in my eBook Made. It’s basically my formula for building a bowl that I use for every single meal.
