This light and fresh double protein bowl is the perfect combo of raw and cooked foods and makes an awesome lunch. It is the ideal midday pick-me-up that will leave you feeling satisfied and re-energized.
I love to cook grains in bulk on Sunday and then use them to create quick meals all week. By cooking healthy whole grains ahead of time, you are setting yourself up for success. You can combine brown rice, quinoa, millet (or your favorite grain) with proteins and veggies all week for a satisfying lunch that won't take you too long to prepare before you head out the door!
