After a gluttonous few weeks (OK, months) of holiday eating, we’re ready for a cleanse. But none of this liquid-only, calorie-counting business. Something we can feel good about eating: the Buddha bowl. Essentially a mishmash of protein, veggies and grains, this Pinterest-worthy meal is also an easy way to use up leftover produce. Healthy, efficient and delicious? Bring on the bowls.

If you prefer a warm lunch, toss everything—rice, lentils, squash and broccoli—into a pot until it’s cooked through to your liking.

Similar idea, but with a soft-boiled egg on top for extra protein (and some extra likes on the 'gram).

Fluffy quinoa meets crispy chickpeas and, oh yes, our mouths.
Kale, Avocado, Orange And Wild Rice Bowl
With a sprinkle of pomegranate and pumpkin seeds on top for added crunch.
