Anything Can Be A beast Bowl!
This tasty bowl of deliciousness, the "Thai Chicken Meatball Beast Bowl" was the first Beast Bowl ever on my menu. I ate it all the time. I know it's technically not Thai, it's probably more Vietnamese-inspired. No matter what it's called, this Beast Bowl is fantastically delicious and full of protein and veggies.
Thinking back on the evolution of the Beast Bowl, I can clearly see my inspiration. I love vegetables, but salads, meh, not so much. I mean, not salads in the traditional sense. I find salad way too lettuce-y. The Beast Bowl provided an alternative way to get a lot of my favorite vegetables. Technically, building a Beast Bowl is like building a salad that's heavy on the toppings, light on the lettuce.
The Thai Chicken Meatball Beast Bowl. The OG Beast Bowl – it was the very first one!
