Burrito Bowls

Whether you are following a Keto, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, or Whole30 style of eating, we are here to show you how to make a DIY Burrito Bowl at home. This recipe will let you customize for every diet while saving you both time and money. Oh, and let’s not forget calories, too! 

Let’s be honest here. Who doesn’t love a gooood Chipotle burrito bowl? They have so many great options to choose from and their flavors are really on point! But, what we don’t love is the amount of money we spend on the bowls and the calories! By now you know that we are all about intuitive eating, but if you like to frequent Chipotle just as much as us, you know those calories add up. QUICK!

Instead of stopping there at lunch or for dinner. We are here to show you how to make your own burrito bowls at home. Not only are we showing you how to customize the burrito bowls for almost every diet out there, but we are also helping you save money by grabbing all of the ingredients, plus your GoodCook meal prep containers, at Target.

The flavor combinations don’t stop with just these either! There are so many other great things to add in like:
