Goodbye, sad salads; hello, grain bowls. Also known as Buddha bowls, these ridiculously easy recipes combine a grain, protein, fresh produce, and nuts or seeds for crunch. Healthy eaters love them because they're packed with nutritious ingredients—and because they are ideal for make-ahead meals.

You know the famous line from the Brady Bunch: “Matcha, matcha, matcha.” You’ll be saying that when you taste this high antioxidant and amino acid brew from one of these two Japanese companies: Itoen‘s Matcha Love, a cold green tea in flavors like vanilla and ginger; and Aiya’s Matcha Premium Grade tea, which comes in all forms, from powder to leaves.
Seaweed

Dulse (say it like “pulse”) is one example of a growing infatuation with eating seaweed. This family of nutrient-packed sea vegetables has been turning up everywhere from school lunches (where savvy parents swap it for potato chips) to gourmet restaurant fare. Why all the love? Dulse is a good source of potassium and iron—and boasts loads of iodine, necessary in the regulation of the thyroid gland and usually found only in seafood or iodized salt. It has a salty, of-the-sea flavor. You can enjoy dulse in many forms. Look for it in natural-foods markets, where you’ll find it either in flakes or in bags of dried strips, and crumble it over soups or salads.
