Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Veggie Bowls

Bowls were a big trend last year and frankly I don’t think they are going anywhere soon. They are a great way to enjoy meals in a quick and convenient way. My personal favorites are this 10 Minute Beef & Broccolini Bowl, BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls and of course these Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Veggie Bowls! Not only are bowls easy to make, but they also make it incredibly simple to weigh out your ingredients if you are counting calories or carbohydrates.

When I am making a bowl I like to use my handy EatSmart Precision Digital Kitchen Scale so I know exactly what my macros are for that meal. To get started I add whatever bowl I am preparing my food in to the scale. Because of the convenient tare feature on the scale, I can easily zero out the weight of whatever plate or bowl I am using to prep food. I will add one one ingredient at a time and track the nutrition in MyFitnessPal. After it’s tracked, I use the tare function to zero it out before adding the next ingredient.

Another great feature of the scale is that it can measure grams, ounces or pounds. This is important because some ingredients provide the nutritional information for a set amount of grams and others use ounces. You can quickly switch between the measurements depending on the ingredient you are needing to weigh.

The EatSmart Precision Digital Kitchen Scale also has a recessed platform which allows you to effortlessly weigh things like nuts or fruit on the scale itself and the plastic design is easy to clean.

So gather up the simple ingredients to make these healthy Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Veggie Bowls and you will be amazed at just how quick and easy the whole process is. The spicy chicken paired with the cool avocado and tangy bleu cheese is amazing with the crunchy veggies and quinoa. It is a combination that I make time and time again and it never gets old!
