Ingredients (1 generous bowl)
4–5 oz ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken)
½ cup roasted sweet potatoes, diced
½ avocado, cubed
1 cup fresh greens (spinach, arugula, or mixed greens)
½ cup black beans (or black bean & corn mix)
¼–½ cup cottage cheese (for extra protein & creaminess)
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional drizzle: balsamic glaze, hot sauce, or a light vinaigrette
How to Make It
Cook the protein
Brown the ground meat in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper (add garlic powder, paprika, or taco seasoning if you like).
Roast the sweet potatoes
Toss diced sweet potatoes with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (205°C) for about 20–25 minutes, until tender and golden.
Prep the rest
Rinse the beans, chop the avocado, and wash the greens.
Assemble the bowl
Add greens to the bottom of a bowl. Top with ground meat, sweet potatoes, beans, avocado, and a scoop of cottage cheese.
Finish it off
Add a light drizzle of your favorite sauce or enjoy it just as is.
