Tex Mex Bowl

Author: Karen Porter, RHN

For almost 30 years Karen battled severe IBS, & anxiety.

Forced to re-evaluate and take her health into her own hands, she started looking into alternative methods to help her heal where the traditional medical approach had failed. 

Karen’s health, and consequently her life, entirely shifted and she felt compelled to help as many women as possible to feel their absolute best!  

 

I love this flavourful Tex Mex Bowl! It's easy and cooks in one pan, and covers all the basis - protein, veggies and lots of fibre! It can be made with or without the rice and it's equally delicious!
