Grain bowls have become one of my favorite lunches since going plant based. (You can read more about why I have gone plant based here). There are so many combinations and different things you can add in but this Harvest Grain Bowl is my jam lately.
A good grain bowl usually consists of:
– Grains: quinoa, farro, rice, etc.
– Vegetables: The more color the better!
– Protein if you choose: Legumes, (If I add a protein I will do some of bean to keep it plantbased), tofu, fish, chicken.
– Toppings: Nuts, dried cranberries, sesame seeds, cheese (I will do dairy free)
– Sauce: Tahini, Honey, Soy Sauce, Green Goddess Dressing, etc.
I will do all sorts of themes when I make my bowl, such as Greek, Tex Mex, Poke Bowl, etc. This Harvest Grain Bowl has been my go to lately this season. I’m showing you how to make your own Harvest Grain Bowl below.
Harvest Grain Bowl
Ingredients:
- 1 cup roasted brussel sprouts
- 1 cup roasted root vegetables (I did sweet potatoes and parsnips)
- 1/2 cup quinoa cooked
- Handful of dried cranberries
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts
- Tahini and honey (to taste)
Directions:
1.) I usually will have my veggies roasted and the quinoa cooked ahead of time. On Sundays, I spend some time prepping food for the week and always have cooked quinoa and roasted veggies on hand so that I can make a quick bowl in a flash.
2.) In a bowl layer your grains, veggies and toppings.
3.) Drizzle with some tahini and honey to taste.
Stay tuned for every Meatless Monday where I will be sharing a new plant-based recipe!
