My Thai salad
So, you’re diving into a plant-based lifestyle (or just trying to eat more veggies without sacrificing flavor?) and looking for a clean eating spot in NYC? Good news! You don’t have to survive on sad salads or plain tofu. At Avo, we’re all about bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and protein-packed plant-based bowls that actually taste amazing.
Whether you’re a vegan veteran, plant-curious, or just trying to switch things up, here’s how to customize your ideal bowl at Avo, loaded with protein, healthy fats, and all the good stuff your body needs.
1. Start with a Solid Base
Choose from nutrient-dense grains like organic quinoa or brown rice, which not only provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy but also contribute a good amount of protein. For instance, a cooked cup of quinoa contains approximately 8 grams of protein!
2. Load Up on Plant-Based Proteins
Enhance your bowl with our selection of plant-based protein options:
Tofu: A versatile protein source that absorbs flavors beautifully. It's rich in all nine essential amino acids.
Hummus: Made from chickpeas, hummus adds creaminess and an extra protein boost.
Portobello Mushrooms: These mushrooms offer a meaty texture and are a good source of vitamin B.
3. Pile on the Veggies
Incorporate a variety of vegetables to add fiber, vitamins, and minerals:
Leafy Greens: Kale and spinach are excellent choices, providing iron and calcium.
Colorful Veggies: Carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and purple cabbage not only add color but also antioxidants.
4. Choose Your Toppings Wisely
Finish your bowl with nutrient-rich toppings:
Avocado: Adds healthy monounsaturated fats and a creamy texture.
Spicy Cashews: Provide a crunchy element along with healthy fats and protein.
5. Drizzle with Flavorful Dressings
No need to worry here, ALL OUR DRESSINGS ARE VEGAN!
Whether you're craving a protein-packed post-gym meal, a light but satisfying lunch, or just a way to sneak in more greens, Avo’s got your back. Stop by and build your ideal plant-based bowl at Avo NYC today!
