What goes into a high protein vegetarian meal prep bowl

• Firm tofu, baked or pan-seared
• Chickpeas, lightly seasoned
• Boiled eggs for extra protein
• Cooked grains (bulgur, quinoa or farro)
• Roasted vegetables like broccoli or zucchini
• Simple yogurt-based sauce or tzatziki

Each component can be prepared separately, making the process flexible and stress-free.

🍳 How to Prep It Efficiently

Start by cooking your grains and roasting vegetables on a single tray. While they cook, prepare the tofu and boil the eggs. Once everything is ready, assemble the bowls with clear sections — this helps maintain texture and freshness.
