Sweet Potato Lentil Bowls
These meal prep bowls are so delicious and flavourful! The dressing and feta add the perfect burst of flavour. I am constantly looking for new lunch ideas and these were just what I needed. Healthy, vegetarian, and loaded with greens. I like using kale as it allows for salads to keep longer in the fridge! Therefore, perfect for making ahead of time. You can also swap chickpeas for lentils if that's easier for you.
