Flavor, Fast: Exploring the Nourish Bowl Library

The first thing that impresses me about Mann’s Nourish Bowls is the sheer variety. They eliminate the boredom factor often associated with quick healthy meals by offering six distinct, popular flavor profiles. Whether you crave spicy comfort or globally-inspired richness, there is a bowl for every mood.
Mann’s Nourish Bowls come in these popular flavors:
- Cauli Rice Curry: A warm, spiced offering centered around cauliflower rice.
- Southwest Chipotle: Zesty and satisfying with a little kick.
- Monterey Risotto: Creamy texture without the heavy prep time.
- Sesame Sriracha: An Asian-inspired blend of savory and spicy.
- Spicy Thai Veggie Noodle: A vibrant, noodle-based option.
- Bacon Maple Brussels: The perfect savory-sweet combination for Brussels sprout lovers.
These bowls are all vegetarian and can be eaten entirely on their own—they are ready to cook straight out of the package—or creatively enhanced, as we did recently with the bold Sesame Sriracha blend.
Transforming Dinner: Sesame Sriracha Beef Stir-Fry

Recently, we tried the Sesame Sriracha Nourish Bowl, which is loaded with broccoli, kohlrabi, cabbage, carrots, snap peas, brown rice, and a zesty sesame sriracha sauce. Instead of just heating it up, we decided to transform it into a robust Sesame Sriracha Beef Stir-Fry.
This approach highlights the true genius of these bowls: they provide the foundation—the perfectly cut, high-quality vegetables and the complex sauce—allowing you to easily add your own protein and customization. For this meal, we swapped out the brown rice included in the bowl for fluffy jasmine rice, which is also low in fat. To make the most of our ingredients, we added some leftover whole carrots and an apple from the fridge for an unexpected, delightful sweetness.
This combination, served warm, created a delightful weekend stir-fry that was so satisfying, you might find yourself going back for more, even though it’s quite filling.
Sesame Sriracha Beef Stir-Fry

Serving amount: 2-4
Ingredients:
- 1 (12 ounces) package Sesame Sriracha Nourish Bowl™

- 2 teaspoon olive oil

- Cut the beef into smaller, bite-sized chunks.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- When it is hot, add the beef chunks and cook until done.
- While the beef is cooking, chop the onion and apple.
- After the beef has cooked, add the onion and the Sesame Sriracha Nourish Bowl.
- Cook the nourish bowl for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are slightly firm.
- Add your cup of jasmine rice and the sauce from the Mann’s nourish bowl to the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat for another five minutes, slowly turning all the ingredients together.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow all the flavor to combine together.
- Once finished—serve with diced apples on top.
Salmon or chicken would also be the perfect, leaner addition to the flavorful Sesame Sriracha Nourish Bowl!
