Sweet Curry Miso Swami Bowl: Life Alive Remake

3 grains, 1 1/2 fats, 1/2 fruit, 1 1/2 protein, 1 vegetable

When I remade the Adventurer Bowl from Life Alive, it was the highlight of my day. Heck, it was the highlight of my week!

But sommeonee in the family got a little jealous. “Why do you make all the good food for yourself?…I want that for dinner tonight”

Fine! Easy enough for me. I decided to switch it up and make my dad’s favorite from Life Alive: The Swami. I’ve tried both at the restaurant and the Adventurer is still my go-to. However, the dishes are completely different so to each his own.

… I should probably stop with all these remakes. I mean is this even legal? Can I get sued by Life Alive for this?

It would be worth it.

I think.

Sweet Curry Miso Dressing (1-2 servings) adapted from Andrea Lucas:

1 garlic glove

1 tsp freshly minced/chopped ginger

1 tsp tamari (or soy sauce)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp water

1/2 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp honey (or agave)

1 tsp miso paste

The Swami (1 serving) adapted from Life Alive:

1-2 leaves kale

1 cup cooked quinoa & brown rice blend* [3 grains, 1 protein]

1 oz. white/cremini mushrooms (optional)

1/3 onion

1/2 cup broccoli, steamed [1/2 vegetable]

1/2 cup shredded carrots [1/2 vegetable]

1 tbsp nutritional yeast [1/2 protein]

1 tbsp almonds, chopped [1/2 fat]

1 tbsp raisins [1/2 fruit]

1 tsp olive oil [1 fat]

>> Sauté onions, mushrooms, broccoli and carrots in oil. Chop almonds and roast them slightly  in a separate skillet to bring out flavor. Chop Kale and arrange on a dish. Add cooked brown rice and quinoa blend. Top with sautéed vegetables, almonds, raisins, and nutritional yeast. Drizzle the sweet curry miso dressing over everything.

*I used Seeds of Change ready to heat packs, but you can make your own brown rice & quinoa mix.
