Nothing quite beats the feeling of digging into a wholesome buddha bowl, bursting with valuable nutrients and full of flavour. The tasty combo of juicy grilled chicken pieces, crunchy peanuts and our parsley chimichurri makes the meal rich in CoQ10, a powerful coenzyme which has been found to increase production of vital antioxidants in the body and also support in the treatment of congestive heart failure. Paired with antioxidant-rich avocado and high-fibre pepitas, these bowls provide a mighty mix of vitamin E, C and zinc, nutrients which all work together to support a healthy heart, promote eye macula health and good vision.
