Ideally I would be eating a burrito bowl IN California but with travel by rocket not quite available, I’ll bring the taste of California into my own kitchen with the help of Dr. Praeger’s and their California Veggie Burger.

Not to mention it’s typically quicker and often better-for-you to make your own meals at home. And Dr. Praeger’s has got you covered in the “quick, easy, and healthy” department. Having my freezer stocked with their products (veggie burgers, seafood products, potato puffs and more) allows me to make some better food choices when we’re running low on fresh foods.

OR if I am just trying to make my life easier and need a quick, healthy meal. <– usually this.

Some of my favorite Dr. Praeger’s products are their Veggie Burgers, because they’re just so easy. And Dr. Praeger’s has an array of veggie burger flavors, all delicious in their own way.

California Veggie Burger Burrito Bowl

While I love a traditional veggie burger with a bun and all the fixings, there is just something so satisfying about throwing all of your favorite toppings into a bowl and crushing it with a fork. Just me?

Let’s be honest though, more often than not everything is falling out of the bun and you end up grabbing a fork and stabbing the bits and pieces anyway. Ya know what I’m saying?

So we’re just going to toss everything into a bowl right from the start and call it good.

What You Need

• Dr. Praeger’s California Veggie Burger
• rice (or grain of choice)
• salad greens
• avocado
• roasted sweet potatoes
• black beans
• pico de gallo or salsa

More about Dr. Praeger’s

• recognizable ingredients — vegetables, herbs and grains people know and love.
• products serving a variety of dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan.
• OU Kosher certified, and many are Non-GMO Project Verified and certified Gluten Free.
• High-quality ingredients that include a diverse range of vegetables, sustainably caught fish and plant-based oils.

I love that this burrito bowl is an easy, plant-based meal perfect for meal prep. For example if you have your rice and sweet potatoes cooked beforehand, all you really need to do is cook the Dr. Praeger’s California Veggie Burger. And while that cooks you can begin assembling the bowl(s), slice the avocado and open up the black beans and pico de gallo. It’s dinner ready in essentially 15 minutes or less.

What’s not to love about that?

Oh and my little secret: this whole “bowl” trick is a great way to get your daily dose of salad greens in for the day if that is something you struggle with. I pretty much throw anything onto a bed of greens and call it a salad. It’s a great way to trick yourself (or your kids, wife, husband, whoever) into adding some leafy greens into their life.
