easy vegan burrito bowls

They’re juuust spicy enough to be fun. They’re filling but not heavy. They’re versatile and colorful and so super nutritious. Vegan burrito bowls are WHERE IT’S AT this month.

The Big Four:

  • Cauliflower walnut taco meat
  • Blistered pepper strips
  • Rice
  • Black Beans

In typical fashion, toppings are an ocean of possibilities. Lime. Cilantro. Salsa. Avocado. Hot Sauce.

It is really hard to go wrong here.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BURRITO BOWLS

First up. Cauliflower walnut taco meat.

I don’t want to pick favorites in this burrito bowl situation, but you guys, WALNUTS ARE OUR STAR! Super nutritious and packed with omega-3s (2.5 grams per one ounce serving!). They absolutely make the “meat” that absolutely makes the bowls.

Grind it up, bake it up, end of story.

And as long as you have your oven on, go ahead and throw a second sheet pan in there with some pepper strips.

HEALTHY LUNCH PREP FTW

On a scale of one to amazing, how good does it feel to do a lil advance prep for healthy lunches?

The morning is chaotic, time is flying by, and suddenly it’s lunchtime and you’re superhungry and you go to the fridge and BAM, there’s something really delicious waiting to love you through the rest of your day.

This month, we’re taking the pledge to #ChooseLunch with our friends at California Walnuts. That means no skipping lunch. No working while eating. No midday slump. And if that lunch break happens to be away from your desk and far from your email inbox then you are just WINNING.
