Healthy Tofu Bowl Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep: These are great hot or cold meal prep bowls. If enjoying them hot, wait to add the avocado and sprouts just before serving. You can also add the dressing/marinade to the rice to soak in and keep the veggies and tofu from getting soggy.
Leftover Storage: Store leftovers in the fire for 4-5 days.
Reheating: You can reheat the bowls (less the avocado and sprouts) in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or in a dry hot pan on the stovetop.
