Ingredients

4 cups cooked rice (pilaf, steamed, or Mexican rice)

2 cups cooked protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, beans, or plant-based options)

4 cups cooked vegetables (steamed, sautéed, or roasted)

Condiments of choice (salsa, sriracha, hummus, tzatziki, guacamole, soy sauce, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Scoop rice into a large bowl, filling it about one-third of the way.
  2. Add protein and vegetables on top, leaving space to mix flavors.
  3. Drizzle or dollop with chosen condiments.
  4. Mix as you eat, enjoying different combinations in each bite.

Notes

  • Try a Mexican bowl with carnitas, beans, and salsa.
  • Make it Mediterranean with rice pilaf, hummus, and tzatziki.
  • Use quinoa instead of rice for extra protein.
  • Keep wet toppings like salsa or guacamole separate until serving.
  • Rice bowls don’t freeze well fully assembled—freeze base components instead.
