What better way to eat vegetables, than in a VegetaBOWL?

You may have heard of “Buddha bowls”, which are based on grains, such as quinoa and rice. Although these are a great way to add whole grain servings to your day, our twist with the “Vegetabowl” uses riced vegetables as the base.

We encourage you to eat your vegetables, always, in any way you can.  With Vegetabowls, getting colorful veggies into your day has never been so easy!

Check out the recipe below for a simple way to amp up your vegetable intake, with bright, fresh, and delicious flavors.
