I am all for a good healthy bowl recipe and these Honey Sriracha Meatball Bowls are no exception! Other favorites include Cuban Chicken Rice Bowl, Greek Chicken Pita Bowl and Pulled Pork Bowls with Avocado Slaw.

The sweet and spicy Asian inspired flavors in this easy recipe are absolutely delicious. I meal prepped a few of these bowls in my favorite glass meal prep containers and I have been excitedly reaching for them for quick and easy lunches. If I am excited about leftovers, you know it is an amazing recipe!

How to Make Meatball Bowls

The meatballs are made with ginger sriracha and soy sauce and roasted in the oven until the outsides nice and browned and the insides are tender and flavorful.

The honey sriracha meatballs are glazed in a spicy Greek yogurt sauce. It adds a creamy element along with lots of great flavor and spice. You can make the sauce as spicy or sweet as you want by adjusting the honey and sriracha.

I didn’t add too much sriracha before scooping some out for my toddlers in their meatball bowls. For myself, I loaded it up with more. You can also just finish off the bowl with a drizzle of sriracha if that is easier.

Healthy Meatball Meal Prep

The glazed meatballs are served in a bowl with quick pickled cucumbers. While the meatballs are baking, just toss the peeled and chopped cucumbers in some rice wine vinegar and a dash of sugar. If you want some more heat, add some red pepper flakes for more of a kick. The cool cucumbers are the perfect compliment to the creamy meatballs.

I used lean ground beef to make my meatballs, but if you want a really low fat meatball you can always use ground turkey. Just keep in mind, turkey doesn’t have as much moisture, so they will be a tad bit drier. I personally think the extra flavor from the hamburger is worth it paired with the healthy cucumbers and brown rice.

Meatballs are great for meal prep because they stay moist and are easy to reheat. Just heat them up for or or two minutes and you have an easy and delicious lunch in no time. They aren’t terrible cold either if you don’t have access to a microwave!
