Yumm Bowl Night

Jazzy Yumm Bowl with Grilled Asain Chicken Tender

On Yumm! Bowl nights I make Cafe Yumm (of Eugene, Oregon)'s Jazzy Bowls. Which consists of:

Jasmine Rice

Original Yumm! Sauce

Organic Red Beans

Organic Salsa 

Tillamook Cheddar

Diced Tomato

Fresh Avocado slices

Sour Cream

Black Olives

Cilantro

If you're not able to get your hands on some of Cafe Yumm!'s Original Yumm! Sauce than I have a pretty good copy-cat recipe to follow. It's actually an amazing recipe, but I still love buying Yumm! Sauce everytime I'm in Oregon.

Wholesome, honest-to-god, real food. 70 calories per Tablespoon

When making Yumm! Bowls the time-consuming part is preparing the sauce. Here's my copy-cat recipe of Cafe Yumm!'s Original Yumm! Sauce:

Ingredients
1/2 cup filter water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup cold-pressed grape seed oil (or canola oil)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup silken tofu
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried cilantro

Put all ingredients in a blender, or food processor and mix until creamy. Viola!

When making Yumm! Bowls carefully weigh out, and measure the ingredients to ensure a proper serving.

After mastering Yumm! Sauce it's pretty easy to make your own version of Yumm! Bowls at home-- I prefer the Jazzy Bowl, but have been known to make different versions from breakfast Yumm! Bowls to other copy-cat ideas from Cafe Yumm!'s website. 

The perfect feel-better soon food. 

Don't forget rooster sauce, and Liquid Aminos!

The bowl with a chicken tender came to 515 calories, 28 carbs, and 22 grams of protein. If you want to learn more about MyFitnessPal, check out my Food Diary.
