Southwest Chipotle Nourish Bowl with Chicken

This Southwest Chipotle Nourish Bowl with Chicken is brought to you by The Whole Smiths and Mann’s Fresh Vegetables. It’s the perfect easy-to-make weekday meal for lunch at the office or  dinner at home. 

Southwest Chipotle Bowls from The Whole Smiths. Loaded with healthy veggies like cauliflower, kale and more!

If you’ve been following The Whole Smiths for any length of time you know I am passionate about making healthy, easy meals convenient for everybody. I don’t believe eating well needs to be a time consuming and expensive endeavor. I’m also a firm believer in letting others prep my veggies for me. Because who on Earth wants to do that themselves? Therefore, when I was given the opportunity to create a recipe using one of Mann’s Fresh Vegetable’s Nourish Bowls I was game.

While I’ve been buying their Nourish Bowls for awhile now, our local Costco recently started carrying them in two packs, which means that I’ve been eating them on a weekly basis now. I love how easy it is to prep the bowls and serve up a health nutrient dense meal. Mann’s Nourish Bowls come in a wide variety of flavors and you can check them all out here.

While Nourish Bowls are great on their own I typically add a protein to them. Anything from rotisserie chicken to leftover salmon works fabulously. This time around however, I created some southwest-spiced chicken skewers to pair with it. To make these you can either fire up the grill or simply place them onto a broiler pan and boil them in the oven for a quick addition.

Something I’ve come to realize and become passionate about the more I’m in this health and wellness space is that people need healthy to be convenient. In the 70’s we realized that people needed a convenience factor when it came to food but I think things got a little out of control with the arrival of heavily processed microwavable meals. But we loved the convenience of these packaged foods! I can only image the sigh of relief moms across the country let out when they were able to pop an entire meal into the microwave and serve it in about 3 minutes.

Then came along the 80’s and its new low-fat, low-calorie craze. That combined with the convenience factor led us even further down the rabbit hole. No one was getting healthier, we just had easy access to lower quality foods. Fast forward to today, we’ve learned that our bodies need nutrient rich, real foods to function properly. But we all know that can take a lot of work to prepare on a regular basis. We still need the convince factor when it comes to preparing healthy meals.

Which is precisely why I am loving what Mann’s Fresh Veggies doing with their products. Their pre-cut vegetables are a staple in our house. Now their Nourish Bowls have quickly become a go-to lunch solution for me. If you’d like to see how I use their Butternut Squash Rotini make sure to check out my Chipotle Lime Butternut Squash recipe. By taking out the preparation of your veggies and answering the question of what’s for dinner or lunch, we are finally getting a healthy, convenient, quick meal option.

These chicken skewers are designed to be easily made. Whether you make them ahead of time to use through the week or right before you eat them, they take no time at all to prepare. And as far as the Nourish Bowl? All you need to do is pop it into the microwave for a few minutes, that’s it!

So tell me, how do YOU keep a healthy lifestyle manageable and convenient?

Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold salads. Like ice cold.  Like this Thousand Island Wedge Salad. 🥰  I love me a wedge salad but sometimes hate that it doesn’t feel like a complete meal... so I changed it up a bit and added some egg for protein. And bacon because... bacon!  What do you think? Are you in salad season yet or still on soup season?  Recipe at the link in my profile.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/thousand-island-dressing-wedge-salad/
Time truly does fly. ❤️ It feels just yesterd Time truly does fly. ❤️  It feels just yesterday I took this picture. People warn you that time flies, don’t wait till the end to realize they were right.  Enjoy the now. Let love in and share yours.  Valentine’s Day isn’t about romantic love in our home but it’s about finding love wherever you can. Any nook and cranny. Friendships, family, nature, community, wherever.  We choose love. Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤️
These Cherry Bourbon Chocolate Truffles will make These Cherry Bourbon Chocolate Truffles will make you feel like the world’s finest chocolatier... or Lucy in the scene where’s there’s chocolate everywhere and she’s stuffing ‘em in her bra.  Either way, they’re delicious and actually supper easy to make.  Besides, we all know the only way to say “I love you” and mean it is with some chocolate and a cheesy card. At least it’s not Palmer’s. ☺️  Ok really though, these truffles are the shizzzz. In fact, just make them for yourself and share them with no one.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cherry-bourbon-chocolate-truffles-recipe/
I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now (blah) but here’s a throwback to when @thepetitepanaderya and I got to be a part of the SB Halftime field team crew in 2016.  It has always been on my bucket list to be on the field for the Halftime show, so when SB was here in Santa Clara, I was going to find a way.  I saw you could sign up to be a part of the field team that puts together the stage so I signed up. It was two weeks of practicing and they paid us minimum wage, although I would have done it for free.  A few hundred people were part of it and we were each assigned to a “cart”. We were taught exactly what to do, how to assemble the various parts of the stage and QUICK. It all had to be put together in around 7 minutes.  We weren’t allowed to have any cell phones out during practices and signed confidentiality waivers. The second week we got to watch the performers rehearse (over and over again). JayZ and Blue Ivy were in the stands watching. Bruno Mars was perfection and nailed everything every time. I was blown away at how talented he was live. Chris Martin was so kind. Beyoncé drove in front of us in her golf cart and waved. She also made us wait in the freezing cold while she tried different hair and fan / wind blowing situations.  Game day. There was a staging area a few miles away that we met at and we were bussed in with police escorts down the 101.  Once at the stadium we hung out with our carts waiting our turn. Everyone was so pumped. As SOON as the second quarter ended it was go time and the adrenaline was pumping. Seriously, that feeling was awesome.  Lucky for us, once we finished building our cart we had wait on the sidelines... right in front.  The energy was intense and I loved every minute of it.  Bigger picture, seeing how everyone worked together flawlessly to create the performance was striking. I’ve never experienced teamwork like this and never thought it would be such an impactful experience.  It was one of the BEST things I’ve ever done as silly as it sounds. Everyone who does it city after city says the same thing.  If you ever have the chance and find the SB in your town, do it. Trust me.
Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone? While some (most) p Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone?  While some (most) people are likely to be shoveling Cool Ranch Doritos down the batch tomorrow... we’ll be whipping up a batch of these Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS!  Yeah, I know. It’s kind of obnoxious because Cool Ranch Doritos are the sh^%. But these at least give you that same zesty flavor and way more than nutrients. I’m kinda obsessed!  Or just eat the Doritos. 🤷🏼‍♀️  While we’re talking chips? What’s your fave? I think mine are the Cool Ranch Doritos.. what can I say...  Now I’m feeling like I sold you on the Doritos rather than the chickpeas! Whoops.  Anyways. Recipe for the CHICKPEAS in my bio.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cool-ranch-roasted-chickpeas/

Stating the obvious. I’d also like to propose Stating the obvious.  I’d also like to propose a few things moving forward.  Some things I’d like to add into our next relief package. Parents who have had children get double. Distance learning, triple.  1. Home repair reimbursements. Paint, chipped tiles, destroyed furniture all included.  2. A 4 day weekend alone to a tropical destination for each parent. Not to mention, that helps boost the struggling travel economy. Double win!  3. Covid makeovers to whoever would like it. The stress our inept politicians have put on us have clearly aged me about 15 years and I think they should have to handle that. Perhaps all of their “consulting” fees can be used to fund this. This would also double as a great reality show. Post pandemic transformation. I’m happy to host!  4. Restaurant vouchers because we have all done enough cooking. If you still can’t cook a chicken breast or bake some bread at this point, you failed 2020. You will have to prove you now know how to cook for this one. And again, double whammy as it helps restaurants.  Yep. I think that’s it’s for now. What would you add to the list? 👇🏼
