This healthy grain bowl is our spin on what we actually think the Queen Jennifer Aniston would eat for lunch every day.

If you remember, Jennifer Aniston’s Salad went viral not too long ago. I even made my own spin on it. However, after it went viral, we heard from Jenn herself that this was not something she ate every day like people thought. So we thought we’d take a stab at what she potentially would’ve eaten instead, a Greek-inspired bowl for her Greek roots.

🍲 Ingredients

Farro: Farro is a great source of fiber, iron, protein, and magnesium. It’s so good to cook it up and have it in your fridge to make bowls or salads with. You can also swap it for any grain of choice like wild or brown rice, quinoa, couscous, etc.

Chickpeas: Chickpeas are a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are great for adding protein to a recipe like this grain bowl, can help improve digestion, and are a fantastic plant-based protein substitute.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Consistency of some of the veggies will change as it sits, so you might want to keep the dressing separate.
