Goddess Veggie Bowls with Chicken are a delicious, satisfying lunch.
Theres one thing Ill never understandpeople who skip lunch.
That midday meal is probably one of my most favorite food experiences of the day.
Heres why this high-protein meal is the perfect desk lunch!
Theres a reason that fast-casual chain restaurants that focus on bowl and salad meals are successful.
Im just not willing to spend that amount for lunch on a regular basis.
I love being able to choose my ingredients and portions, and its how I created these bowls.
They start with a simple marinade.
I use plainGreek-style yogurtto create a perfectly tangy base and to add a bit of protein and calcium.
Leaving the chicken tenders in the marinade for at least four hours ensures that they are flavorful after cooking.
Finally, I top the bowls with an array of fresh, raw (but cooked also works!)
veggies, avocado and protein-packed almonds.
It can also be doubled to create a larger number of servings.
On top of being easy, its also completely customizable.
For example, I often swap in wild rice or bulgur for quinoa.
Add a little extra:If youre anything like me, you like balance.
While this meal hits plenty of food groups, it doesnt include fruit.
Ill often pack a mandarin orange, some grapes or an apple to enjoy alongside my meal.
Refrigerate it:This bowl needs to be refrigerated, so plan wisely.
If your office has a refrigerator, youre all set.
