Notes

Feel free to customize your bowls with seasonal vegetables for freshness. Keep dressings separate until ready to eat to prevent sogginess. Chickpeas can be roasted for added texture and flavor. Store meal prep bowls in glass containers with tight lids for longer freshness. Experiment with various spices and dressings to keep meals exciting throughout the week.
