My love for grain bowls runs deep. So deep that they manage to work their way into my meal rotation on a daily basis. Grain bowls—composed of veggies, grains, a protein, a healthy fat, and a dressing—are one of the easiest ways to compose a nutritious, satisfying meal. They encourage building texture and flavor with layers of ingredients, and are some of the easiest meals to customize to your liking. They’re also fantastic make-ahead meals for weekday lunches or dinners on the fly.

Here are my top 10 personal (and reader!) favorite grain bowl recipes (in no specific order) for all of your lunchtime (or anytime) needs.
