These bowls are a true triple threat: easy to prepare, loaded with nutritious ingredients and packed with flavor! Give burrito bowls the night off and give this Mediterranean-inspired dish a try. Top with your favorite protein like chicken, steak, falafel or shrimp. We’ll say it now, these make #saddesklunches a thing of the past, so you may want to consider making a double batch!
