Ok, in case you didn’t know: the bowl is the new plate.

Power Bowl recipes have taken over Instagram and Pinterest, and in case you’re wondering you CAN enjoy these nutritious, versatile, and downright gorgeous bowls on a low carb, keto diet!

But before you go diving face first into Goddess smoothies and hippie bowls, there are a few facts you need to know!

The Down Low On Power Bowls 

Smoothie Bowls

A smoothie bowl is exactly what you think: a fruit-based smoothie served in a bowl. I have seen fabulous, plant-based, clean eating smoothie bowls and I’ve seen evil smoothie bowls full of lies.

And sugar.

And wasted time. 

Take the photo above as an example. Do you see those heart and star-shaped fruits? Do you know what kind of time we are talking about investing when we’re meal prepping fruit shaped like stars? 

Way. Too. Much. 

Now before I go on a rant about decorative flowers in breakfast recipes let me tell you- Smoothie bowls can be a healthy addition to your low carb breakfast lineup if you pay particular attention to the base ingredient AND watch out for sugar-especially in fruits.

Stick with a few raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries and skip the bananas!

Buddha Bowls 

Also known as hippie bowls, Buddha bowls are typically full of nutrient-dense raw vegetables, greens, and grains. Think quinoa and brown rice bases covered in vegetables topped with assorted seeds and nuts.

And that’s fabulous, but if you’re watching carbs, not so much!

If you’re following the keto diet or cutting carbs, you’re going to need to pay attention to the base of the bowl first.

Avoid the grains, noodles, and brown rice and opt for keto-friendly, low carb bases like cauliflower rice, shirataki noodles, noodles, or cabbage.  

As for the veggies, go for it, but try to stick with the ones that grow above ground like spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and cucumbers. Root veggies like potatoes and sweet potatoes are out because they are both loaded with carbs!

Poke Bowl

Pronounced (poh-kay) Poke Bowls hail from Hawaii and are typically full of raw fish, rice and vegetables. All Poke bowls start with a base ingredient like brown rice, sushi rice, quinoa, soba noodles, or cabbage.

If you’re on a low carb diet, you’re going to want to steer clear of Poke bowls with rice, quinoa, and soba noodles-because carbs. (Of course, Cauliflower rice is perfectly fine!)
