Bowls are the ideal format on GLP-1 treatment: everything in one bowl, with controlled portions and a perfect balance of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats.
1. Salmon poke bowl
On a bed of 100 g brown rice, arrange 120 g fresh salmon cubes, edamame, cucumber, avocado, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with low-sodium soy sauce. Protein: 28 g.
Raw salmon is rich in omega-3s and high-quality protein. The cubes are easy to chew and digest on GLP-1 treatment.
2. Vegetarian buddha bowl
Compose with 100 g cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas (150 g), roasted sweet potato, kale leaves massaged with olive oil, and tahini-lemon sauce. Protein: 20 g.
Crunchy roasted chickpeas bring mouth pleasure even with reduced appetite. Tahini adds healthy fats and calcium.
3. Grilled chicken grain bowl
On a mix of bulgur and green lentils (150 g), place 120 g sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh mint. Yogurt-lemon sauce. Protein: 35 g.
This Lebanese-inspired bowl combines grains and legumes for a complete amino acid profile. Ideal for maintaining muscle mass on Mounjaro.
4. Protein acai bowl
Blend 1 frozen acai packet with 1 banana, 100 ml almond milk, and 1 scoop vanilla protein. Pour into a bowl and top with homemade granola, fresh fruit, and almond butter. Protein: 22 g.
Perfect in summer or as dessert, this cool bowl is often well tolerated even on nausea days. Acai antioxidants support recovery.
5. Lean beef burrito bowl
On brown rice (100 g), arrange 100 g lean ground beef seasoned with cumin and paprika, black beans, corn, diced tomato, avocado, and lime juice. Protein: 32 g.
All the burrito flavors without the heavy tortilla. Black beans double the plant protein content.
Bowls: the ideal format on GLP-1
Bowls allow you to visually control portions, which is essential on GLP-1 treatment where overeating can cause discomfort. Aim for: 1/4 bowl protein, 1/4 whole grains, 1/2 vegetables. Always add a source of healthy fats (avocado, seeds, olive oil).
