Monday Lunch

The Buddha Bowl

Preparation: Heat in a 300-degree oven for 7 minutes, microwave for one minute, or enjoy room temperature. Top with the puffed rice and dressing.

Parts included: The Buddha Bowl, Puffed Rice, & Clianto-Ginger Dressing

Drawing inspiration from the Buddhist tradition of simple, balanced meals and the mindful eating practices of monks, the Buddha Bowl has evolved into a beloved modern dish, celebrating diverse flavors and vibrant ingredients. Laroot’s version brings together ancient grains for sustained energy and fresh farmers' market vegetables, chosen for their rich flavors and high nutrient density. Our Tibetan Grain Bowl is accompanied by smoked salmon, if you choose, a protein abundant in omega-3 fatty acids, known to reduce inflammation, support heart health, and enhance brain function. Our puffed rice offers a warming crunch, while the bright notes of ginger and cilantro add an array of antioxidants and immune-boosting benefits.

Monday Dinner

Kari Malay

Preparation: Heat for 3 minutes in a small pot over medium heat or pour the curry over rice and heat in microwave for 2 –3 minutes.

Parts included: Kari Malay & Brown Rice

Malaysian cuisine is a fusion of the many ethnic groups that call the country home — Arab, Indian, Chinese, and more. But as a seafaring nation, these diverse influences are united by a common ingredient: fish. As an ode to the traditional Malaysian method, we marinate locally sourced haddock in spices long before it's cooked. The fish is served in a flavorful blend of coconut milk, cumin, curry leaves, mustard seeds, and other native herbs to create a memorable dish that’s rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C.

Tuesday Lunch

Ikarian Lunch

Preparation: Heat for 5 minutes at 400 in the oven or microwave the entire dish for 2 – 3 minutes.

Parts included: Aubergine and Halloumi Bake, Side Salad, & Tash's Vinaigrette

This recipe hails from Ikaria, a Greek island known for its Blue Zone status. Ikarians are among the world's healthiest individuals, with one in three living into their 90s. This dish draws from that vital cultural wisdom, using eggplant for its rich vitamins, fiber, and polyphenols (which help the body metabolize sugar). For balance, we add halloumi cheese made from grass-fed goat's milk, which is full of potassium and stress-relieving tryptophan. It’s also hypoallergenic and can usually be enjoyed by lactose intolerant individuals.

Tuesday Dinner

Nowruz Ash

Preparation: In a small pot heat for 3–4 minutes over medium heat or microwave for 1–2  minutes. Enjoy with the gluten-free bread.

Parts included: Nowruz Ash & Gluten-Free Bread

Āsh means "thick soup" in Iranian languages and is traditionally eaten on Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Our take on this heart-healthy dish is gluten- and dairy-free and features a variety of beans and green lentils for an excellent source of protein, fiber, and B vitamins. The spinach and herb mix further enhances this dish's rich mineral and phytochemical profile, providing powerful immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory health benefits.

Wednesday Lunch

Las Enchiladas Enamoradas

Preparation: Heat in the oven at 400 for 12 minutes or microwave for 2 – 3 minutes. Top with your preferred amount of sour cream and guacamole.

Parts included: Enchiladas, Corn, Sour Cream (*depending on dietary preference), and Guacamole

Enchiladas were mentioned in Mexico's first cookbook in 1831, but the dish's history dates even further back. In Mayan times, it was common to roll tortillas (called 'tlaxcalli') around other foods; this practice evolved over the years to become the savory, saucy dish we know today. Our version preserves these classic elements while adding spices, vitamin-rich vegetables, and organic free-range chicken to create a well-rounded meal supercharged with anti-inflammatory health benefits.

Wednesday Dinner

The Resistance Pho

Preparation:  Heat the broth for 3 minutes over medium heat until simmering or microwave for 2 – 3 minutes. Carefully pour the broth over the noodles, cover, and let steam for 4–5 minutes. Top with your preferred amount of dressing. 

Parts included: The Resistance Pho, Pho Broth, & Tamari-Chili Dressing

As Vietnam’s national dish, Pho is a cultural icon and has played a role in protest poems, government policies, and even espionage. Traditionally made with beef, it was heavily influenced by 19th-century French and Chinese cooking, deriving its name from the French soup pot au feu. Our interpretations uses cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, and clove for the subtle broth. Alongside rice noodles, mushrooms, tofu, and bok choy provide essential fiber, protein, and folates, which have been shown to reduce stroke risk.
