Simple, good for you, and endlessly customizable, bowl recipes are the meal prepper’s BFF. I’ve been noshing on bowls in one form or another for years, and I never tire of the tried and true combo of vibrant veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and flavorful sauces.

Besides their mix-and-match nature, bowl recipes are great because they hold up well in the fridge and can be reheated in a flash in the microwave, making busy days feel a heck of a lot easier.

Today I’m sharing 15 of my favorite easy, healthy bowl recipes that make planning your lunches or dinners for the week stress-free.

Enjoy!
