Black Rice Sushi Lunch Bowl

There's an art to making sushi and it can take a while to master the roll technique. Slicing thin raw vegetables is a lot easier to do, which makes this sushi bowl a brilliant alternative. Try black (aka forbidden) rice instead of white. The sweet and spicy maple-ginger-tamari sauce just might make you forget about soy sauce.

Broccoli, Blueberries, Pomegranate, Chickpeas, Roasted Pumpkin and Avocado Lunch Bowl

This lunch bowl is packed with so much goodness and color, and the only thing you really need to do is roast the pumpkin. Then it's just a matter of putting everything together and bringing it to work. Take a whole avocado separately then smash it into the bowl when lunch hits for the freshest taste (and because no one likes black avo).

Plant-Based Lunch Bowl

Not familiar with lupini (or lupin) beans? This easy lunch bowl is a great way to get acquainted. They add much-needed fiber and texture against the purple cabbage and spinach. Garnish with hemp seeds for a protein hit and cilantro for more freshness. You can even sprinkle a favorite (virtuous) snack on top for more texture.

Salmon, Avocado, Mushrooms and Sweet Potatoes Lunch Bowl

This isn't a salad with a bunch of leaves, a sliver of salmon and a few mushrooms. This is a hearty lunch bowl loaded with good fats to keep your brain firing on all cylinders. Salmon is high in omega-3s and mushrooms provide B vitamins and antioxidants. Oh, and they all taste delicious together.
