This bowl comes together super easily, is great to prepare ahead of time for busy days, and is completely customizable. These bowls can be made with long lasting ingredients like brown rice, canned chickpeas, substitute frozen vegetables for fresh, and apple cider vinegar for lemon juice. If you feel like your fridge has nothing after a busy week, pull out these ingredients for a super healthy bowl. You can also prepare brown rice, dressing, and veggies at the beginning of the week and just assemble your bowl when you are ready to eat. If you don’t have broccoli on hand, any vegetable will do. You can also roast your veggies for a variety of flavor. The ingredients can also be kept separate, so if you have a picky eater in your family, they can assemble their bowls just the way they would like.
