What makes the perfect in-office lunch? It's a question for the ages. We're always looking for useful lunch ideas that don't require dragging bags of groceries to the office or turning our kitchen or desks into a huge mess. As much as we love UberEats, prepping healthy meals right in our own space is the best way to keep ourselves well fed and energized through long afternoons. This summer, we finally came up with the perfect solution and our whole team is in on it. It all started with a slow cooker...
Between green smoothies, acai bowls, and our continual trips to Pressed Juicery Freeze for cheater lunches (we can't stop!), we've been making batches of these easily adaptable buddha bowls and it's the best idea we've ever hatched for our office's half-kitchen!
The slow cooker does all the work (we've been using this giant programmable non-toxic, ceramic model by Bella). We get it cracking first thing in the morning, press a button or two and let the machine do its thing while we do ours. Come lunch time, we have a fresh batch of quinoa to build bowls with and all we need to do is tote in a few plants and proteins!
The best part of making the giant quinoa batch is that each team member can make a bowl of their choosing. Sometimes we gather a big box of ingredients from the Whole Foods salad bar, other times we all bring in leftover and etc. The key is that it works for everyone's diets, tastes and timelines.
Here are a few basic guidelines to get your started on our new favorite lunch hack, including a simple formula to get you started and few perfect dressing recipes to bring everything together...
