The Rainbow of Veggies

Eating the rainbow! These bowls are packed with different colored vegetables, which means a variety of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Add vegetables to a bed of brown rice and top with a little nuts & cheese for a perfect vegetarian lunch. You can use any vegetables that you like but I listed what I used below. For variety, I made half with goat cheese/pecans & half with low fat cheddar/almonds.
