Strawberry Feta Bowls with Roasted Almonds

If there’s a season of simplicity and ease, this. is. it. Rosé, bbqs, friends + fam, and sunshine. Planning and structure? Grocery shopping and cooking? Those are September things, right? Well, yes. But here’s the thing: even in the summer, we still need to eat.

And if you’re anything like us, life’s a lot better when we’re eating food that’s actually good for us. Hello, simple summer meal prep (…the magic word being simple).



My simple meal-prep answer? Bowls. Like these strawberry feta bowls with roasted almonds and balsamic vinaigrette. They’re perfect for summer (any season, really… but we’re biased) because bowl meals are easy-breezy, go-with-the-flow meals. These strawberry feta bowls follow our tried-and-true power bowl formula:


+ Green Base
+ Protein
+ Veggies and Fruit
+ Healthy Carb
+ Something Fancy
+ Dressing


This formula is like a little blueprint for your mind, giving you the structure to make satisfying prep-ahead meals, but also the freedom to easily change it up. Here we use arugula (green base), grilled chicken (protein),  green beans + strawberries (veg/fruit), corn + quinoa (healthy carb), feta + roasted almonds (#fancy), and a balsamic vinaigrette (dressing). But don’t like arugula? Swap it out for another green. Dairy-free? Omit the cheese and add another #fancy ingredient. You do you. Because it’s summertime, baby.

To make the whole summer meal prep thing actually happen, I created a little guide for you. It includes my five favorite summer bowl combos, a printable shopping list, and a simple prep plan to make five servings for the week in just an hour (!). So you can get out of the kitchen and onto the back patio (#yeswayrosé).
