Grain Bowls: The Easiest Way to Make a Balanced, Flavor-Packed Meal! 🥗✨
No overthinking. No complicated recipes. Just real food, real flavor, and a simple formula that works every time:
🥬 Start with Greens – Fill about 2/3 of your bowl with your favorite leafy base—romaine, spinach, arugula, mixed greens, or whatever you have on hand.
🍚 Add Grains – Fill the remaining 1/3 with quinoa, black rice, wild rice, or even gluten-free pasta for a little variety.
🍗 Pick a Protein – think pre-cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu, beans, edamame, canned fish...whatever you have in your fridge.
🥕 Load Up on Veggies & Fruit – Roasted butternut squash, raw cucumbers, crisp apples… mix cooked & raw for texture and variety!
🌿 Flavor Boosters – Fresh herbs, a squeeze of citrus, a little salt & pepper—small things that make a big difference.
🥜 Add Some Crunch – Walnuts, pepitas, sesame seeds—textures are satisfying!
🥣 Drizzle on a Dressing – Hummus, yogurt, or a simple vinaigrette to bring it all together.
That's it! No need to overthink it—just mix, match, and enjoy! What’s going in your grain bowl this week? 🍽️
