If I'm in a hurry and want to eat right, I go for low carb bowls. I mix up fresh stuff and toss in fun toppings so it’s light but still filling. It’s my go-to for feeling good without feeling weighed down.
Why it's a standout
What makes these bowls awesome is how much you can switch things up. Throw in hot or chilled stuff, put them together super quick, and go wild with proteins or good fats. Drizzle different sauces on top and each time it tastes brand new.
What's inside
- Sauce: Try your own yogurt dip, an Asian soy splash, or spicy mustard sauce.
- Fats: Toss in creamy avocado, some crunchy nuts, or a swirl of good oil.
- Veggies: Roasted pumpkin, crispy spinach, or colorful carrots work great.
- Protein: You can’t go wrong with poached eggs, shrimp, or juicy chicken.
- Base: Start with fresh greens, zoodles, or cauliflower rice.
Prepping ahead made easy
I like to fix extra portions in one go. Double up on your protein, veggies, and rice then mix and match. Maybe today with spinach, tomorrow with pumpkin—never boring, always tasty.
Eat it your way
These bowls hit the spot warm with sautéed veggies or chilled with crisp greens. Splash in broth or coconut milk to turn it into a cozy meal. Works every day, however you want it.
All about choices
Add more healthy fats or bump up the protein when you’re hungrier. Noodles, avocado, or nuts load it up. Swap out dressings to keep the flavors interesting.

Watch out for eating out
Most restaurant bowls aren’t always low carb. Grains like quinoa, beans, or regular rice bring up the carbs. At home, I get to pick every ingredient and keep it low carb just the way I want it.
