How to Customize the Bowl & Make It Your Own
One of the best things about this hot honey ground beef bowl? You can make it your own! Here are a few ways to switch it up and make it your own:
- Swap Your Protein: Not a fan of ground beef? Try 96% lean ground turkey, grilled chicken breast, or tofu.
- Change the Base: Mix in riced cauliflower or leafy greens with sweet potatoes to reduce carbs while keeping the volume and fiber high.
- Add Extra Veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, red onion, or zucchini can add even more nutrients and color.
- Spice It Your Way: Customize the heat level with a sprinkle of cayenne, hot sauce, or chili flakes.
- Tweak the Toppings: Not into cottage cheese? Swap it for Greek yogurt or leave it off and add more avocado for creaminess.
These simple changes can keep your meals exciting and help you stick to your goals while still enjoying every bite.
