Benefits
Vegan bowls make a perfect lunch since you won’t feel sleepy afterward. As dinner, it is also easy to digest. If you have nightmares due to heavy dinners or don’t sleep well, consider a vegan bowl with turmeric. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and will help reduce bloating providing a soothing effect on digestion that can help you sleep. But it does not make you drowsy. Turmeric is all the rage since it is loaded with minerals, fiber, and plenty of vitamins. Some say you should add a little black pepper to help turmeric release its power. We say, add to spice it up a little.
