All sorts of creative one-dish meals are being served in a bowl with various monikers &#8211; protein bowls, Buddha bowls, broth bowls, quinoa bowls, globowls, and of course &#8211; salads, all being created with global influences. Just do a search on Pinterest, and you'll be bowled over. Served cold or warm, bowl meals combine all sorts of vegetables with whole grains such as quinoa, farro, brown rice or soba noodles and a protein source, including grilled meats, eggs, beans, nuts, cheese or tofu. Sliced avocado often makes a starring appearance on top. Power bowls are dressed up with a flavor-packed sauce that ties it all together and salads are being featured with unique and creative new dressings. Bowl meals aren&#8217;t just becoming more appealing to guests, they&#8217;re also operationally sound, and great for a franchise.
