These Mediterranean vegan meal prep bowls are filled with healthy, fresh ingredients that include protein and good fats. These bowls are ready in under half an hour!
So what do we have in these bowls?
- Quinoa
- Tomatoes
- Kalamata olives (my favorite!)
- Hummus
- Red onions
- Chickpeas
- Cucumber
These quinoa meal prep bowls are basically a hearty salad with grains. They’re filling and have a great variety of textures and flavors. Vegan Greek salad sounds good to me!
I took the bowls pictured to work for my lunches, and I really enjoyed them even though I’m not exactly quinoa’s #1 fan.
You can easily customize these meal prep bowls with whatever you have on hand or substitute anything you don’t like in here with something else.
Rice would work well instead of the quinoa. You could even do Greek potatoes in here if you wish.

Do you have nutrition facts/macros for this recipe?
Natasha says
Hi Laurel! I do not, unfortunately. TBH, I am not a nutrition expert, so I don’t feel comfortable putting that kind of info up in case I am not correct and people rely on that stuff for health reasons. I just re-read the recipe, and even putting calories on here would be pretty inaccurate since I don’t know how many olives someone would add to their bowl, brands of hummus vary, and so on. I know this is the annoying answer, but your best bet is to make the bowls and then calculate this info yourself based on the exact brands/ingredients you use.
Kate says
Hi Laurel, any ideas for what you could sub for olives? I try to like them but it’s a texture thing! Thanks xo
Natasha says
How about sundried tomatoes or some sort of pickled veggie? I include the olives in there cuz of the fat content, so that’s why I thought of sundried tomatoes. 😊

Maybe Capers?
