Healthy Grain Bowls

Grain Bowl Variations

• There are endless ways you can serve a grain bowl! Here are a few ideas to try.
• Taco Bowl – Serve all the ingredients you would add to a taco on a bed of rice or quinoa instead of in a shell. My favorites are chicken or beef, guacamole, pico de gallo, and some cheese.
• Mediterranean Bowl – My most frequently made bowl is definitely Mediterranean. I like to start with quinoa and add chicken, sliced tomatoes and cucumber, onion, feta cheese and shredded carrot. For the dressing, I will make something with an olive oil base, lemon and lots of herbs and garlic.
• Sushi Bowl – Think of it as a sushi roll in a bowl! Add some crab or salmon, cucumber, shredded carrot, avocado, and serve with soy sauce and yum yum sauce.
• Roasted Veggie Bowl – Start with a base of brown rice and add some sweet potato, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and chickpeas.
• Breakfast Grain Bowl – For a breakfast grain bowl, begin with a base of quinoa and add some breakfast sausage and an egg or two cooked your favorite way.
