Having bowls like these make for great plant-based meals. They are super easy to alter to your liking and you can include as much or as little of each food as you like. You can also easily switch things up so that you don’t get bored.

For this recipe, you can use brown rice instead of quinoa or barley in place of the spelt berries. You can also use different types of beans or add in other vegetables like mushrooms.

I topped this recipe with Daily Crunch almonds that I chopped and toasted. It gave this recipe the perfect final touch and added a nice crunch that went well with all of the other flavors and textures.
