How to Build a Grain Bowl

Here’s how it works:

1. Start with a base, like rice, quinoa, farro, couscous, or any kind of noodle.
2. Top with protein, such as chicken, steak, tuna, hard boiled eggs, cheese, beans, tofu, or shrimp.
3. Add some steamed or roasted veggies. Cauliflower, squash, zucchini, peppers, carrots, or a combination are all great.
4. Top with salad greens, anything from spinach to shredded brussels sprouts.
5. Drizzle with dressing or a sauce thinned with lemon or lime juice.

We did our own experimenting with the formula and came up with 2 variations of our own (check out the video to see what those combos look like):

Vegetarian

Quinoa + hard-boiled egg + roasted cauliflower and bell pepper + baby kale + balsamic vinaigrette  

Vegan

Soba noodles + firm tofu + roasted Brussels sprouts and red onion + shredded red cabbage + carrot ginger dressing
