Grain bowls are a delicious and nutritious way to make lunch or dinner easy and loaded with flavor! Flavors such as Thai Crunch, Chipotle Brown Rice, and Moroccan Farro will keep your tastebuds happy! No boring meal prep recipes around here!
What is more fun and affordable than mixing and matching ingredients to create a fresh and delicious meal for every day of the week? We can't think of many recipes besides these 3 easy grain bowl meal prep recipes!
You might be wondering, "what exactly is a grain bowl?" and that is a great question! To be honest, you have probably made a grain bowl, or two, over time. They are simply a grain such as brown rice, quinoa, farro, jasmine rice, millet, barley, etc. tossed into a bowl with other veggies and finished off with dressing. They are simple, affordable, and absolutely delicious!
The flavor combinations are endless! Take the three that we went with today: Thai Crunch Quinoa, Chipotle Brown Rice, Moroccan Farro. All three packed a chewy texture from the grains, a fiber punch from the veggies, and tons of flavor from the homemade dressings. Yes, that's right! We went with homemade dressings to make them even more affordable and keep the ingredients wholesome. But, if you're looking for a time-saver, then feel free to grab your favorite dressing at the store.
Of course, a grain bowl isn't really a grain bowl unless it's.....served in a bowl. 😉 That's why we were so excited to see GoodCook launch their new salad meal prep containers that are bowl-shaped! Not only are they the perfect shape and size for these three grain bowl recipes, but they also come with a mini dressing container on top to ensure that your main ingredients don't get soggy between Sunday meal prep and when you enjoy them during the week. How fun is that?! Long gone are the days of soggy salads, grain bowls, and other meal prep dishes!
We have even found the dressing container (see that fun little holder in the photo above?) to work great for pasta sauce, salsa, maple syrup, and other dipping sauces. Plus, it's a great holder for shredded cheese, sliced olives, or other salad ingredients.
