These customizable Quinoa Veggie Bowls with Miso Sesame Dressing will become a weeknight staple. With a quinoa and veggie base topped with a zesty and flavor-packed sunflower-based dressing this easy dinner or lunch recipe is a healthy vegan option for the whole family.
The real secret to a delicious recipe is in the sauce. That’s the trick to eating well: pack it all into a bowl and load it with sauce. Bowl eaters – you know what I’m talking about! These Quinoa Veggie Bowls with Miso Sesame Dressing is no exception.
Funny story about this recipe. When Jess and I were chatting about what recipes to create I told her I wanted to see lots of bowls. Partially because you guys request them all the time but also because I pretty much eat every meal out of a bowl. Those of you who know about my Buddha Bowl Recipe know exactly what I’m talking about. The best meals are eaten out of bowls.
So I emphasized to Jess that maybeeee it was time to expand beyond my Buddha Sauce and try out something new. She told me she’d been working on a Miso Sesame Dressing and that it was to-die-for. Even though I trusted her already, when I tried it I knew this girl was the real deal. The Miso Sesame Dressing should really be called “crack sauce” because it is THAT good.
Luckily this recipe makes a ton of sauce (more than is needed for the bowls) which I firmly believe is the selling point of these Quinoa Veggie Bowls. Not only cause you enjoy it on the bowls, but you can also add it to salads and slaws and grains and just about anything under the sun. And that is precisely what I did.
After Jess and I spent the day cooking and shooting, C and I headed up to a friend’s place on the Russian River. Before we head out of town I like to assess the state of my fridge and see what I can bring, should freeze or can hold out until we get back. I knew immediately that the mason jar full of sauce was coming with us. I honestly had no plan of action for it other than a strong belief that it could taste great with anything. I was right.
On our way up, we stopped at TJs and I picked up the makings for a slaw. Just some shredded cabbage + carrots, edamame and we also brought some leftover cilantro and green onion. For dinner we had steak and potatoes with a side of Miso Sesame Slaw….and then we did it again for lunch…and then that night for dinner we had a salad with the dressing. Basically it was the recipe that just kept giving.
Not only did all my friends immediately ask for the recipe (sorry for making you guys wait!) but I also knew that I had a cult following recipe on my hands (adding to the league alongside my oatmeal protein energy balls, detox vegetable soup and buddha bowl). These are the recipes that blow it out of the water. The ones that you guys consistently tell me you love and make weekly. I love every recipe I post and have tried and tested them all, but some I just *know* are going to be a huge hit.
These Quinoa Veggie Bowls with Miso Sesame Dressing officially make that list!

One of the many reasons I love running the podcast is because I get to pick the brains of people I admire and ask them questions that I know will make me a better and healthier human. Knowing that you get to eavesdrop on those conversations is just icing on the cake! Today’s episode is no exception.
To be honest, I went into today’s episode with Fern Olivia with somewhat of an expectation. I knew we’d talk about Thyroid Yoga and how to support our thyroid health, but what I got in return was so much more. As you guys know, I completed Yoga Teacher Training last spring and have begun my journey of teaching yoga. It has been a STEEP learning curve (if you think yoga teaching is easy – well I urge you to give it a try!) and one that left me with a lot of knowledge but an equal amount of questions. Fern must have picked up on this because the conversation that ensued both inspired and equipped me to be a better yoga teacher. I left our convo feeling amped up and eager to see this next chapter through.
Of course, if you’re not on a journey to teaching yoga, this episode is still relevant for you! We chat about Fern’s decision to move to a blue zone and pursue her dreams as well as how to support your thyroid holistically among many other things.
Here are a few things we discuss in today’s episode:

Change up your smoothie routine this fall with this Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie Bowl. The sweetness of sweet potato, paired with cinnamon spices makes this a breakfast you will crave but is also good for you! Don’t forget the hidden veggies for an extra healthy punch.
First things first – do you eat a smoothie with a spoon or a straw? This was a very heated conversation this weekend out of which I discovered I am 100% #teamspoon and C is 100% #teamstraw. I’m questioning this whole marriage thing…just kidding! I’m an equal opportunity smoothie eater/drinker. But because it’s my blog, this sweet potato pie smoothie BOWL is what you’re getting today!
As I announced last month, Stonyfield has asked me to come on as an ambassador for the next year. This comes as no surprise to anybody considering I am a walking, talking Stonyfield ad…no really, their shirt is my absolute favorite and their hat is my go-to for Bodhi walks…and then there’s the water bottle. I think you get the point!
I could spend this whole post talking about how much I love their yogurt and their team but this isn’t why Stonyfield asked me to be an ambassador. They asked me to come on because they know that their message is greater than both of us. It is beyond just sponsored posts or yogurt recipes. It’s not just about eating organic food or supporting organic agriculture. It’s about how we live and the legacy we will leave on this planet.
That’s why I’m dedicating today’s post to talking about Stonyfield’s latest initiative, StonyFIELDS. The number one thing I learned on my trip to Sonoma earlier in the year was how damaging it is to treat our soil with pesticides. Whether it’s for growing food or simply just keeping the grass green, the use of pesticides depletes the nutrients in our soil, including the phytochemicals that actually help them build up resistance to bugs and weeds. It also affects the bee population which then affects pollination and our food supply. I could go on but basically pesticide use isn’t good for us or the planet.
Of course, this means making sure we support and purchase organic food products, but it also means ensuring that when we tend to our own yards or any of the public land we use that we’re making sure they’re not treated with pesticides either. Think about it, you go to lay in the grass in your local park and you are breathing in, sitting on and exposing your hands to all sorts of chemicals. This is especially true of kids who go to school and naturally, play in their schoolyards without much consideration to how the grass is treated (nor should they!).
That’s what StonyFIELDS is all about – stopping the use of harmful pesticides on playing fields across the US. Whether it’s your public park, schoolyard or even your own backyard, Stonyfield is asking you to think twice about how you treat your yards as well as challenging schools and governments to think twice about what they’re treating public lands with. Stonyfield is adopting 35 cities over the next three years (in honor of their 35th birthday!) to help convert them to organic land management.
Children are especially vulnerable because their bodies detoxification mechanisms are not fully developed to be able to process and remove all these chemicals. As soon as you stop exposure to these harmful ingredients, kids are able to metabolize these chemicals out of their system. Want to make a change in your community? You can nominate your community to get a community grant from StonyFIELDS here!
This is why I’m so excited for our partnership. I get to share delicious recipes like this Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie Bowl (make it- for real!) but also share steps we can individually take to support our bodies and support the health of the planet. If you’re interested in learning more about StonyFIELDS check out this page and learn how you can support this initiative in your own backyard or town!
It is important to me that THM not only be a place for healthy recipes and wellness inspo, but also for how we can support our planet. It’s the only one we’ve got so we better treat it right. As always, huge thanks to Stonyfield for supporting me in sharing this message.
