Say goodbye to quick-fix food guilt — Bowlsome is here to save the day!
Sometimes, life gets crazy busy and the need for convenience outweighs good food choices. We’ve all been guilty of grabbing a cheeseburger, a bucket of fries or a muffin on the run — you know, those quick lunches between meetings, a late dinner when the kids’ sport finishes after dark. But we’re shimmying, now knowing that there’s a better option.
Bowlsome’s range of fresh, wholesome, locally grown food that’s full of flavour makes eating mindfully easier than ever. Even better? You can grab their tasty bowls when you’re doing your supermarket shop, so there’s no need for separate stops.
THE WHAT
You won’t find any nasties in this unbelievably convenient range — that means NO preservatives, NO additives, NO numbers — it’s just real food that’s good for you and tastes great. We’re talking Cold Bowls and Heat & Eat Bowls, complete with homemade dressings, plenty of locally grown produce and lots of vegan options.
When you’re looking at an Asian Chicken Slaw Bowl, packed with protein and antioxidants, you can’t help but get excited about its nutrition. Finished off with a housemade ginger, soy and sesame dressing, it’s a perfect lunch-on- the-run option.
Or, perhaps a Roasted Harvest Bowl with quinoa, three-bean and prebiotics, Omega 3 and B vitamins, all topped off with a delicious housemade spicy seed and cranberry crunch, and turmeric, cashew and dill dressing. This baby’s delicious warmed or as a side dish… did someone say the perfect shortcut when you’re entertaining over summer? We hear you!
And for a taste of their Heat & Eat range, wrap your head around the soul-warming Chicken Curry Bowl (with sweet potato, carrot and pumpkin on a bed of coconut rice); or the Vegan Mushroom Ragout Bowl, which is cooked with a hint of miso and contains a colourful range of health boosting, prebiotic fibre vegetables served on a bed of rice noodles.
THE WHY
Chatting to the creator of Bowlsome, Danielle Elia, it’s clear that these chef curated bowls have been meticulously thought out. They include a mix of healthy fats, carbs and protein to sustain you throughout the day, so you won’t find yourself reaching for sugary treats to get you through. Thank you, ma’am!
“We don’t believe in adding anything artificial in any of our meals — it’s just clean, wholesome food with zero preservatives, all made right here in South Australia. We work closely with local growers so that where possible, every ingredient is brought in, cooked in house and packed fresh,” Danielle explains.
“I’ve always been passionate about clean eating, and I have certain food allergies, so I used to find it frustrating that I couldn’t find convenient food that was good for me. Then, when my son was three-years-old, he had a reaction and had to be put on a dairy-free, gluten-free diet. Our family’s not the only one to face these sorts of challenges, so when I started Bowlsome, I made sure to be mindful of various dietaries and people’s different needs.”
THE WHERE
These little bowls of convenient goodness can be found all over SA in independent supermarkets, selected convenience stores and OTRs, as well as via the easy-to- use online store.
