Not going to lie, colourful nourish bowls like this one really hit the spot and are a feast for the eyes. These falafels have become my new fave and are packed with a heap of colourful vegetables, micronutrients and antioxidants. They’re full of flavour, and are a great option if you enjoy meal prepping, as these store perfectly in the fridge or freezer, making lunches super easy throughout the week!

These definitely have become my new staple falafel recipe and I cannot wait for you to try!

I love enjoying these on a base of steamed brown rice, along with steamed greens like bok choy and served with a mixed salad typically including: spinach, cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes and more! My fave go-to dressings to enjoy with the falafels are Niulife Coconut Aminos and Byron Bay Vegan Mayo! So tasty!
