Healthy Grain Bowls
Servings 1
Calories 1030kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa or any whole grain
- ½ cup rotisserie chicken shredded
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes sliced
- ½ cup persian cucumber sliced
- ¼ cup carrots shredded
- ¼ avocado sliced
- 1 tablespoon vinaigrette dressing add more if you like
Instructions
- Begin with a base of whole grains. I typically add about one cup to each bowl.
- Next, add your choice of protein.
- Next, add an assortment of raw and cooked vegetables.
- Add a dressing to your bowl.
- Last, add a topping like cheese or seeds to complete your grain bowl.
Notes
- Prep the grain bowl with everything except the protein. This is how I normally do it and then I can throw some rotisserie chicken or air fryer salmon in when I am ready to serve it.
- Vary the ingredients you use in your grain bowl. Make them colorful and different each time and they will be more exciting to eat and seem less repetitive.
- A good rule of thumb for meal prepping is to eat meals you prep within three days, so keep that in mind.
