Found's Bowl Method Meal Plan

It’s time to put your bowls to good use! This bowl method meal plan is all about making life easy while keeping meals tasty—no recipes needed! Feel free to mix and match and add your own flavors. Enjoy! 

Bowl basics

1. Add a base

Grains such as rice, corn, quinoa, or farro—or use grain-free options such as spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, lentils, black beans, or cauliflower rice. Make a batch of your base to last the whole week. 

2. Throw in protein

Add a portion (3 to 4 ounces) of chicken, lean beef or pork, goat, lamb, beans, lentils, eggs, or dairy.

3. Fill up on veggies (and some fruit, too)

Enjoy them cooked or raw—any way you like them! 

4. Top it off

Depending on what compliments your creation, add a flavorful topping such as chopped fresh herbs, nuts, seeds, avocado, olives, kimchi, or cheese. This is an opportunity to add some healthy fats, if you like. 

5. Dress it up

Finish with a drizzle of a flavorful oil, vinegar, some hot sauce, salsa, a squeeze of lemon or lime, or a homemade vinaigrette.
