A co-winner of the 2023 Swim Search, Brittney Nicole is both a model and a fitness enthusiast who uses her platform to share healthy tips and tricks she’s learned along the way with her followers. And since it’s sometimes tricky to maintain healthy habits during the holiday season, Nicole recently offered up her tips for mindful eating, and shared her go-to harvest bowl recipe with SI Swimsuit.

“It is one of those recipes where you can be very creative with the ingredients, and you don’t have to stick to one thing,” she said of the hearty and flavorful combo.

Nicole, a 2024 SI Swimsuit rookie, was inspired to develop her own recipe after having something similar at Sweetgreen.
