For a lunch that fills you up and makes you feel like you’re glowing from within, make these Green Goddess Bowls! With roasted veggies, kale, quinoa, and chicken, plus crisp veggies and a creamy green goddess dressing, these bowls are packed with protein, freshness, and deliciousness!
Just think of this as an everything bowl.
EVERYTHING. The best part about a meal bowl is piling it sky-high with all of your favorites. If you crave variety in your meals—lots of different textures and flavors—you’re going to weep tears of joy for this green goddess bowl recipe.
(Okay, maybe you won’t cry. But it’s my guarantee that one bite in, you will do that closed-eyes-waving-your-fork-in-the-air move, which will definitely be accompanied by an enthusiastic “mmmm!”)
This nourishing bowl is inspired by the spicy green goddess bowl at Sweet Green, but it’s so much better to make it yourself at home. You won’t feel like you shelled out $$ for a bowl that can be skimpy.
It’s packed with roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, and chickpeas, piled atop quinoa and kale, or your favorite greens. For toppings, we’re layering on lots of freshness, punch, and crunch: crispy cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, Green Goddess Dressing, hot sauce, and feta.
If you want a filling meal that covers your protein bases, you can’t do better than these green goddess bowls. I’ve been making these green goddess bowls as a meal prep lunch lately and they keep me plenty full all day, even when we end up having a late dinner!
