When you need dinner on the table FAST, look no further than these healthy vegan Greek bowls, which can be ready in less than 30 minutes and require zero brainpower.
Cook the brown rice. I prefer using the Instant Pot method, which takes 15 minutes to cook. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can also cook according to package directions on the stovetop. Just keep in mind that this will change the total time.
Meanwhile, cut up any veggies. Chop the romaine lettuce, half the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumbers.
Open up bags/cans/jars with additional toppings (the carrots, olives, beets, hummus, and dressing).
Serve “buffet style” and let everyone build their own bowl.
Notes
I enjoy making brown rice in my Instant Pot. If you don’t want to use brown rice, you can also swap it out for quinoa or another healthy grain of your choice.
These Greek bowls contain protein-packed hummus which provides approximately 7.9 grams of protein per serving. Brown rice contains about 2.5 grams of protein in ½ cup. If you want to increase the protein in these bowls, you can also add air-fried tofu or tempeh strips.
The sky is the limit with these bowls. Some other topping choices include vegan chicken strips, tofu, tempeh, sweet potato dip, sliced bell peppers, hot peppers, artichokes, stuffed olives, cauliflower, broccoli, and any other veggie your heart desires.
This healthy vegan Greek bowl would make a fabulous to-go lunch. Just keep your hummus and dressing in a separate container until use.
Nutritional facts calculated without the addition of hummus or salad dressing-- please adjust according to hummus/dressing used.
