Rice-based bowls like these are a meal prep champion. They are incredibly easy to customize and pack for lunches or quick dinners throughout the week. The core concept of a grain, protein, and vegetables lends itself to endless variations. Swap out the brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Instead of broccoli, try roasted sweet potatoes, bell peppers, or even shredded carrots.

For protein, consider grilled shrimp, black beans, or tofu for a vegetarian twist. And don’t be afraid to experiment with sauces! A drizzle of creamy avocado dressing, a splash of lime juice, or a dollop of Greek yogurt can elevate your bowl to new heights. The versatility of this recipe ensures you’ll never get bored, making it a staple in your healthy eating routine.
