Macro Bowls, nourish bowls – whatever you want to call them, they’re legit the best and easiest way to nail the perfectly balanced lunch that maximizes your nutrition. A little bit of food prep goes a long way with these, so preplan out what greens or salad you’re going to want to add and pre-cook your rice and chicken {see notes section below}.

- 1/3 cup red capsicum
- ¼ avocado
- 1 tsp whole egg mayo
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- If you do not yet have your chicken pre-cooked, slice up your chicken, pan fry both sides until cooked through and set aside to cool.
- Assemble your bowl: Add your pre-cooked rice and non starchy salad mix first. Then your cooked chicken. Then top this with the Avocado, mayo and dressing. Lastly add your fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
