Gut Health Benefits:

This bowl delivers powerful skin nutrients like Vitamin C (orange and dressing) to promote collagen and skin radiance, and Vitamin E (from avocado, seeds, and olive oil) to support hydration and repair. Zinc and selenium from nuts and seeds help reduce inflammation and aid skin regeneration. The inclusion of pickled onions, a fermented food, can gently support gut health and improve nutrient absorption which is key for maintaining glowing skin from within.

Storage tips

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep dressing and fresh toppings (like avocado or orange) separate until serving. Grains can be eaten cold or reheated. Add a splash of olive oil if refreshing leftovers.
