Have you heard of a macro bowl? It’s a simple meal idea that we love on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.

A macro bowl is made by combining a healthy whole grain (like quinoa, brown rice, freekeh) with a protein of choice (chicken, beef, tofu, prawns, legumes, boiled eggs), some veggies (anything goes, cooked or raw is fine), plus some healthy fats (think avocado, nuts and seeds, olive oil).

Put them all together and you can rest assured that you’ve got a balanced meal ready to go!

Packed full of wholesome nutritious ingredients they make a quick and easy balanced meal.

This tasty Chilli Prawn Macro Bowl recipe was sent in by 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member Cassie. Cassie says ‘This bowl only takes 20 minutes to make and is packed full of natural protein!’
