Bowls are the delicious meal prep you need if you have no time to cook during the week and/or hate eating the same thing twice.

And the best part is, it can be ready in less than 10 minutes if you prep ahead of time.

Today’s menu features three delicious bowls, including 5 new recipes I’m loving right now. Add a piece of garlicky toasted sourdough or a fresh pita and you have a droolworthy lunch you’ll have to hide from those around you. (Or just send them this email so they can benefit, too.)

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:
