Beef and Broccoli Bowls

Everyone has their go-to meal format, and mine is one-bowl meals . You’ll find them in my lunch and dinner lineup every single week without fail. In fact, I love them so much I wrote two cookbooks about them: one dedicated to plant-based bowls and one with bowls that pack in a little bit of everything .

The beauty of bowl recipes is that they’re super versatile and nourishing, pack in a little of everything, and can often be prepped in advance. They can be as simple as tossing bits and bobs of leftovers, wilting veggies, and rice from the freezer into a bowl, with a drizzle of sauce to top it off.

Whether you prefer to load your bowls with veggies or top them with meat, there’s something for everyone. Here are 15 of my favorite bowl recipes to add to your meal plan ASAP.

Peanut Chicken Power Bowls
This recipe comes together in about 30 minutes from beginning to end and, best of all, everything in these bowls — the chicken, the quinoa, the vegetables, and the peanut sauce — can be made in advance.

Moroccan-Spiced Chickpea Bowls
These bowls call for poached eggs, but I mostly swap in hard-boiled eggs. That way I can prep the dish for a make-ahead lunch.
