Building the Bowls:
Start with the grain (rice or quinoa or noodles), add in the protein (Chickpeas, tofu or beef) choose your veggies and drizzle with dressing!
Cover and store in fridge for up to 4 days of ready-made meals! If you find the meals are too big of a portion (or if you’re not carb loading!) you can split into 2 smaller sized portioned meals and still reap the balance of carbs, protein and fiber!

Its balanced, chalked full of protein and boosts carbohydrates to refuel the tank! Individually satisfying for every member of the family or team as they can design their own!
