AT HOME CHIPOTLE BOWL INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups cooked brown rice

• 1 (15oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed if using canned

• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese

• 4 cups shredded lettuce of choice

• 1 cup natural salsa

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 large ripe avocado

• 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 1 Tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil

a small handful of fresh cilantro, chopped

lime wedges, to serve

For the chipotle chicken:

• 1-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large pieces

• 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

juice of one fresh lime

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 Tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil

• 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste

• 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste

Instructions

1. Start by preparing your marinade. In a small bowl add all the marinade ingredients and whisk until well combined.

2. Place the chicken pieces into an airtight storage container, or into a large, reusable bag and pour in the marinade.

3. Seal your container tightly, then shake a bit to coat the chicken really well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.

When you're ready to cook your chicken, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

4. Meanwhile add oil to a large heavy-bottomed skillet and heat over medium-high heat. I like to use my large cast iron skillet to create that beautiful char on this chicken.

Add in the marinated chicken and cook until nicely browned, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes.

5. Immediately discard any leftover marinade.

While your chicken is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the bowls.

6. Cook your brown rice according to the package instructions.

7. Chop the lettuce and mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice.

8. Once the chicken has finished cooking and rice is ready, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.

9. Chop your chicken into small bite-sized pieces as shown.

10. Divide rice equally among 4 serving bowls, or meal prep containers, then equally add in lettuce, beans, cheese and chicken as shown.

Add salsa and guacamole on side as shown.

11. Finish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and freshly chopped cilantro.

12. Serve and enjoy!

⋆˚࿔ Weekly self-care checklist

Self-care night. Candlelight bubble baths, hair mask, manicure, face mask, home-cooked meal, a good book or your comfort show, some journaling... allow yourself some rest <3

Organise and use your planner/calendar. This will help you reduce stress by helping you stay structured and focused.

Update your Spotify playlists. Nothing is more annoying than being on the go, trying to relax to your music, and constantly having to skip songs that don't resonate with you anymore!!

Sunday reset is a non-negotiable!! laundry, fresh sheets, cleaning your make-up brushes, decluttering, etc...

Catch up on some sleep. Take a nap or choose a night to go to sleep extra early. (I recently read this article on sleep dept... VERY interesting!! -> Click here)

Plan a weekly girl's day!! maybe a picnic, some shopping, a movie night, or perhaps just a coffee date? make some plans and catch up with your girls <3

Go on a long morning walk; maybe you'll be able to catch the sunrise too!!

Buy yourself some flowers. You deserve them. <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡

love ya ･:*₊‧౨ৎ

“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”

I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.
