What is a Healthy Meal Prep bowl?

A Healthy Meal Prep bowl is a pre-made, balanced meal stored for easy access throughout the week. It usually includes protein, a grain or base, vegetables, and a flavorful dressing or topping.

Can I use canned salmon instead of fresh?

Yes, canned salmon works great. It’s convenient and still provides protein and omega‑3s. Just make sure to drain it well before using.

How long does this bowl last in the fridge?

When stored in airtight containers, the components stay fresh for up to 4 days. Add avocado and dressing just before eating for best results.
