Instructions

Cook the Grains: Prepare quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.

Grill the Protein: If using chicken, grill or pan-cook the chicken breasts and slice them into strips. For a vegetarian option, use chickpeas or falafel.

Prepare the Veggies: Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.

Assemble the Bowls: In each meal prep container, add a portion of quinoa or rice. Top with sliced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.

Add Sauce: Spoon tzatziki sauce into small containers or drizzle it directly on top of the bowl.

Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Store: Seal the containers and refrigerate. Enjoy throughout the week!

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with chickpeas, falafel, or roasted vegetables like zucchini and eggplant.
Gluten-Free: Ensure the tzatziki sauce is gluten-free and choose a gluten-free grain like quinoa or rice.
Low-Carb: Use cauliflower rice instead of quinoa or brown rice for a lower-carb version.
Extra Veggies: Add roasted red peppers, spinach, or arugula for more flavor and nutrients.
Dairy-Free: Omit feta cheese and use a dairy-free tzatziki sauce or swap for hummus.
