Curried Cauliflower, Chickpea, & Mango Bowl
CURRIED CAULIFLOWER, CHICKPEA, AND MANGO BOWL
by Olivia Pennelle, Liv's Recovery Kitchen
Ingredients
Many of the foods that I cook with have added health benefits. The benefit to you is enhanced recovery, boosted immunity and extra energy. Mangos are full of antioxidants, which can help prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, clear the skin, and improve eye health. Cauliflower is packed with fiber. Its antioxidants help reduce inflammation and protect against several diseases. Like other whole grain rice, black rice is full of antioxidants and fiber, but it is more powerful than any other grain. With more of the antioxidant anthocyanin than any other food, black rice can help prevent a number of illnesses. It may help avert cardiovascular disease and cancer, improve brain function, and reduce inflammation. Black rice also contains Vitamin E, which is important in maintaining eye, skin, and immune health. Lastly, chickpeas are a great source of protein. Protein keeps you feeling full and reduces your appetite, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and is great for your digestion.
