I’m not always great about packing my lunch.
I love salads, but sometimes I want something a little bit heartier in the middle of the day.
Enter: grain bowls.

It’s also super easy to see to it your grain bowl is a balanced meal.
The thing you have to confirm of is that your bowl has enough protein to keep you full.
Below are 22 grain bowls that are specifically designed to be made ahead of time and packed for work.
It’s chewy, nutty, and really pairs well with everything.
To switch things up, use red quinoa and sub plums or nectarine for the peach.
Sometimes I sub raisins for the cherries, and it’s just as delicious.
That said, it’s possible for you to totally make it for dinner on a busy weeknight.
I love adding raw fennel to salads because it adds crunch and areallysubtle licorice flavor.
Quinoa adds little bits of crunch to this simple, fresh salad.
This grain bowl is a little unusual, but definitely worth a try.
It’s plump and chewy like farro, but softer and a little more pasta-esque (I think).
