Making Meatless Meals: Chipotle Vegan Bowl

Hi Byte Wellness Fam!

Will keep it short and sweet today. Are you a fan of the Lifestyle Bowl from Chipotle or the Chipotle Veggie Bowl and want more chipotle vegetarian options at home? This diy recipe for a vegan chipotle option might be just what you were looking for.

Scroll down to our Chipotle Vegan Bowl recipe.

This month we’re putting our recent talks about high-quality sugars and starches to the test.

How? We’re making meatless meals! That’s right, we’re going to COOK whole food, plant-based meals that are filling, tasty AND nutritious. It goes without saying that we’ll unpack the science behind our ingredient choices, too.

In fact, next week we’re making a Chipotle Vegan Bowl!

Want to follow along while we make the recipe? Here’s the grocery list below. Check the single-serving size and the multi-serving option for meal-prep.

Chipotle Vegan Bowl Recipe: Grocery List

This recipe is adapted from some of my favorite vegan food bloggers: Wendy and Jess from the Food Heaven Made Easy team.

How did we adapt the recipe?

The Byte Wellness version of the Vegan Chipotle Bowl:

  • triples the quantity of non-starchy veggies to fit the Balanced Plate model

  • swaps out brown rice for higher-protein quinoa

  • adds superfood spinach

  • adds more anti-inflammatory onions and garlic

I’ll share the full recipe and feedback from our community next week.

Plus, don’t forget the Discussion Question for this week.

Discussion Question:

  • Who is in your life helping you shift habits and boost wellness?

This can be a health or wellness provider you purchase a service from, or a friend or family member you can trust to keep you on track. Who is it for you?

Happy Healthy Living,
