Retailer shares build-your-own bowl recipes
for easy meal solutions
CINCINNATI, Jan. 14,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) today
shared its simple guide to building the perfect bowl recipe,
including extra veggies and a variety of proteins and grains for
easy, hearty winter meal solutions.
"Bowls are a perfect template for a fresh and hearty meal that
are easy to prep ahead of time for a lunch away from home or no
hassle dinner," said Carlo Baldan,
group vice president of Fresh Merchandising at Kroger. "Make
mealtime fun with a build-your-own bowl night where everyone can
help with dinner. Start with a grain base like rice or quinoa and
customize with your family's favorite fresh ingredients, proteins
and toppings."
Try these popular styles of bowl builds:
The Buddha Bowl: A classic Buddha bowl is a one-dish
vegetarian meal with lots of veggies, protein-packed tofu and
savory turmeric tahini sauce.
- Base: Rice is a typical Buddha bowl base but grains like quinoa
or couscous are great substitutes.
- Protein: Chickpeas, beans, lentils, tofu, or meat options like
beef, fish or chicken.
- Vegetables: Fresh, roasted or sautéed vegetables like sweet
potatoes, peppers and mushrooms.
- Sauce: Usually a creamy tahini sauce, or swap in a

this bowl together.
