High protein bowls I’m eating this autumn

I’ve been going through a bit of a bowl phase lately, and I’ve been trying to get more protein in my diet..

And so what I’ve been doing is stacking proteins, which is really easy to do in a bowl – you get more protein and more flavors (for example stacking quinoa, chicken and feta all in one bowl).

I wanna show you some of the high protein bowls I’m eating this autumn:
– my classic autumn bowl
– my mediterranean autumn bowl
– my favorite leftovers bowl (using some leftover ingredients from the first two bowls)

All the recipes are gluten-free with dairy-free options!
Hope you love them as much as I do,
