Cozy Winter Nourish Bowl

Winter is the season for slowing down, staying warm, and nourishing your body a little extra. With colder days and earlier nights, comfort food can still be healthy, grounding, and supportive of your energy.

I wanted to share one of my favorite go-to winter meals. It’s simple, warming, and perfect after a workout or on a cozy night in.
