The fitness influencer posted a photo of one of her healthy bowls, loaded with rice, black beans, tofu and tomatoes
‘I love eating like this because it means you get to try a variety of different flavours and textures and you can use both fresh and cooked ingredients,’ she said.
The bowl she posted also included tofu but she said it could be substituted with a favourite protein or vegetable.
‘I also love that you can eat this either as a bowl or mix it up and serve it in a taco shell or with your favourite flat bread to make a healthy wrap,’ she said.
Kayla shared some simple tips to building the ultimate healthy bowl in her post as well.
She said there should be leafy greens included as well as your favourite protein.
Adding extra vegetables like snap peas, radish, green beans, broccoli was also recommended.

The 29-year-old recently revealed the exact exercises she does to maintain her ripped physique. She shared a video with her 17,000 TikTok followers and demonstrated how to do each exercise.
In the video Kayla began the two-minute routine by completing a round of bent-leg jackknife leg raises (pictured). For added resistance, she held a dumbbell and brought her knees up to her chest to perform the ab crunch
The workout routine incorporates four exercises that only need to be done for a total of 30 seconds each.
In the video Kayla began the two-minute routine by completing a round of bent-leg jackknife leg raises.
For added resistance, she held a dumbbell and brought her knees up to her chest to perform the ab crunch.
Next, with her forearm supporting herself, she held a side plank for 30-seconds, which might be challenging for some.
To maintain her balance Kayla held her opposite arm straight up in the air.
For the remaining two exercises, Kayla completed a round of mountain climbers and another round of half burpees.
The exercise video which was posted on January 27 has since been viewed more than 21,000 times.
‘Going to give this a go now! Need to strengthen my abs again after having a baby,’ one woman wrote.
‘Now I have the reason to be on TikTok again, thanks Kayla,’ another wrote.
