Southwest Chipotle Nourish Bowls & Tacos

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Can you imagine looking forward to opening your lunch bag each day at the office? After today’s post, where I share my tips for packing veggie filled office lunches, you’ll soon be as excited to pack your food as much as eating it.

Veggie Filled Office Lunches: These Nourish Bowls are great for in the office or for making tacos!

I know just how easy it is to pack the same school and office lunches each day, and many parents can’t imagine having to think about their work lunch after packing their kids’ school lunches. The thing is that we should spend a few minutes each week thinking about ways to add more nutrition to our food, not just our kids’.

While we are done “growing” our health depends a lot on our nutritional intake, and adding more fresh veggies is a sure way to make our meals more nutritionally dense. One of my favorite ways to save time in the kitchen is to buy fresh, washed and ready-to-eat veggies; making it exciting to partner up with Mann’s to bring you today’s veggie filled office lunches.

Recently, I’ve discovered Mann’s Nourish Bowls where the veggies, grains, and sauce are pre-measured and ready to eat. While they are all delicious, the Southwest Chipotle is my favorite bowl. The sweet potato and chipotle salsa combination is hard to resist. You already know how much I love Southwest flavors in my food!

What’s great about the Nourish bowls is that I can customize them in various ways. Some mornings, I pack some corn tortillas along with the Southwest Chipotle bowl and turn the content into tacos, another love of mine.

In winter, I’ve used the very same bowl, added 4 cups of chicken broth, and now I have a warm thermos lunch! Packed along with some fruit and my meal is complete.

My husband, who needs a little more substance for lunch, loves to turn his Nourish Bowl into a burrito (hot) or wrap (cold). I’ll often add leftover chicken to it, and his meal is complete.

I also like to add a generous scoop of hummus along with some fresh Mann’s Sugar Snap Peas for an easy afternoon office snack. The fresh crisp crunch from the snap peas along side some creamy hummus is the perfect desk side combo!

As you can see, it’s easy to turn fresh food into a variety of delicious meals. All you have to do is let your creativity take charge and go from there.

What is your favorite veggie-filled lunch that would make a terrific office lunch?

    I like to make fajitas with lots of yummy peppers and onions and wrap in a tortilla.

    I often make cabbage soup (cabbage, carrots, onions, celery, canned diced tomatoes(low salt) and tomato juice), pack a large salad, or green beans with salsa on top (either jar salsa or a three pepper salsa I make myself). I don’t feel full enough at lunch if I don’t eat veggies. : ) Plus, I’m on Weight Watchers, and veggies are essential!

    I’ve really been enjoying pita bread stuffed with salad greens, shredded carrots, snap peas, canned artichoke hearts and black olives mixed with salad dressing. Super quick and tastes great!

    I love making salads for lunches … Salads for me .. Salads to share .. Always a hard boiled egg or two .. Clumps of lots of veggies in each corner … Then berries/fruit in another .. Cheese … In the middle and then pop that top on if you can !!! Different kinds of dressings … Love my salads!!!

    Great idea! I was so happy to find these bowls at my supermarket. I’ve been prepping veggies early in the week and adding them to lunches with ranch dressing. It’s time for a change!

    My lunches typically include a big bowl of soup (usually lentil, veggie, or chili) and some fresh cut veggies with hummus to dip in. These bowls sound great and would make a nice back-up to the hectic days when I could use a few extra minutes!

    I usually have a giant salad for lunch, with veggies and nuts, seeds, and protein added in to make it a Paleo meal. A new variety and containers would be great for hectic days.

    I enjoy taking the suppers I make such as chicken and rice with black beans, which is loaded other veggies and making wraps out of it or quinoa chili into wraps. I also bring along fresh cut veggies as a snack. The wraps help use up the meals since most recipes are for more than 2.

    Fresh cut peppers, radishes, carrots, celery, snap peas with hummus is our go to for work lunches. I’ve never heard of these nourish bowls but I’m very interested!

    I discovered these two weeks ago at my store and although I eat paleo, these bowls are amazing. I take out the little grain packet and use the rest. Super affordable way of eating more veggies every day!

    I usually try to make a veggie soup with chicken broth or bring rice and beans with cut up vegetables on the side – usually just carrots, celery, or green beans.

    I love leftover veggie pizza in my lunch or even just a bunch of raw cut up vegetables with a sandwich or wrap. Bbq stuffed green peppers reheat well, too! 🙂
