Serving Suggestions & Storage

How to Serve

Build the bowl in layers: rice or greens on the bottom, eggs and protein, beans, then cold toppings (avocado, salsa, sour cream, cilantro). Squeeze fresh lime over everything.

How to Store

Store cooked components separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the hot items and assemble fresh bowls each morning. Do not freeze assembled bowls as the avocado and fresh toppings don’t hold up.
