I personally love burrito bowls. They’re simple, they’re perfectly balanced, and they’re healthy – and anything salsa and avocado is automatically deliciously amazing! Not only that, they’re extremely filling, meaning you’re not reaching for unhealthy snacks right before your next meal.

At the beginning of the week if I have a burrito bowl on the menu (and am doing meal prep), I set aside large quantities of all the ingredients that I can and then divide everything up into plastic containers for lunches to go! It also makes for the perfect meal to pack up and save for later in case you’re in a pinch. Here’s one of my go-to recipes:
