This burrito salad bowl has been one of my weekly staples. It is high in protein, filled with vegetables, fiber, and probiotics to keep you gut healthy and happy! It is also super easy, quick to assemble, and SO delicious!
As a personal trainer and nutrition coach, I have clients scheduling at different times throughout the day. Sometimes I only have 20 minutes in between clients, and I need something that I can put together quickly for lunch.
I also like to create meals that taste great too, and this burrito salad bowl definitely passes the test!
In order to assemble this quickly, what I like to do is pre-prep my protein, have cooked rice, and chop up my veggies ahead of time to keep in my refrigerator. This way I can grab everything out, heat up my protein & rice in the microwave, toss the veggies into my bowl, and then it is ready in less than 10 minutes!
