For some reason, I've been really wanting some brussels sprouts lately and this bowl was the perfect way to get those! I keep seeing all of these bowls on Instagram full of veggies and they all just look so fresh and delicious, so that inspired me! The coconut curry sauce I made gave it a really nice flavor and was not spicy at all, which I loved.
The vegetables I used went really well together and were great with the sauce, but you could definitely change them up! Try replacing the brussels sprouts with another green veggie, such as broccoli or kale. You could also swap the sweet potato for a different starchy vegetable like cauliflower or butternut squash. I really hope you enjoy this bowl and feel super healthy after eating it!!
