10 Vegan Bowls Packed with Veggies and Grains

Quinoa and black beans are spiffed up with the addition of cilantro, bell pepper, onion, and avocado. Cashews and hemp milk are the two secret ingredients for creating the incredibly creamy green chile cilantro sauce, which was a huge hit with reviewers.  

Fresh veggies, pinto beans, and quinoa layer up for this Tex-Mex-inspired bowl. Best part? Since it's made at home, you don't have to worry about your scoop of guac costing extra.

Hearty tempeh adds plenty of protein and nutty texture to this colorful Buddha bowl. The orange-curry dressing will make even the biggest of vegetable skeptics go for second servings.

Featuring Brussels sprouts, parsnips, and carrots, this bright Buddha bowl will bump up your veggie intake for the week. 

By using shortcut ingredients like boil-in-bag rice and quinoa, this hearty grain bowl can be on the dinner table in just 40 minutes. Dress it up just like you would your favorite banh mi sandwich with pickled vegetables, cilantro, and a creamy sriracha sauce.

Recipe creator Buckwheat Queen describes this dish as, "A complete meal using from-scratch ingredients. Dried beans, rice, and homemade salsa cook together and are served over lettuce then topped with avocado and vegan Cheddar for your taco Tuesday."

With three types of potatoes — red, purple, and sweet — this recipe is a vegan's carb-laden dream. The spuds are balanced out with Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, all smothered with a tangy and nutty lemon-tahini sauce.

Breakfast for dinner is a fun way to break out of any cooking ruts. Here, scrambled tofu takes the place of eggs and is loaded up in a bowl with hash browns, black beans, and homemade pico. 

Crunchy chickpeas, tender broccoli, and earthy cauliflower all combine for a bowl full of flavors and textures. Don't skip soaking the cashews. They add a slight crunch and creaminess to the final dish. 

Smothered in a rich "cheese" sauce, these veggies will taste more like a decadent dish than a healthy meal. "I just had this for lunch today and boy was it delicious," says Linda T.
