How to Build a Better Bowl (or Let Us Do It for You)
The perfect grain bowl balances equally between what your body craves and what your taste buds truly want. At Radish Kitchen, we are constantly testing and refining every bowl for a chef-tested balance: clean protein, whole grains, vibrant vegetables, and house-made dressings, without the heavy dairy and weird additives.
Here’s the hack:
Use a hearty base like quinoa or greens. Add your protein (perhaps grilled chicken, baked falafel, lentils), and then layer colorful veggies, something crunchy (a handful of toasted seeds), and a dressing made with avocado oil. You just made something good for yourself that fuels your body and tastes delicious.
Or you can avoid the mess, and we can do it for you. Every Radish bowl is designed to deliver flavor and function, with local produce, compostable packaging, and macros to entice the fitness enthusiast in you. Whether you are craving sweet potatoes and tahini or chipotle chicken with corn salsa, we have bowls that fit your needs.
