Time to spice up your dinner routine friends! I don't know about you, but sometimes our dinner routine gets really boring. That's why many of my clients subscribe to the meal plans so they can get ideas of what to make without spending hours searching on the internet.

This healthy Egg Roll In A Bowl recipe has been our favorite meals on repeat lately! The boyfriend asks me to make it all the time and he's not a super-fan of healthy food either.

Healthy Egg Roll In A Bowl

What makes this egg roll in a bowl healthy? No deep fried wrapper! This recipe deconstructes the egg roll, adds a ton of veggies and puts the ingredients in a bowl. Think of it as an Asian stir-fry version of an egg roll.

Not only is it a lighter version without the deep fried wrapper, it's also gluten free and easy to customize for other dietary needs.

How to make Egg Roll In A Bowl lighter

Eliminating the deep fried wrapper makes a huge difference in lightened up this egg roll in a bowl recipe. To replace the deep fried wrapper, we ADD broccoli slaw, shredded carrots, red onion and red bell pepper. This bulk is important not only for the nutrition, but for keeping you full.

This healthy recipe also swaps pork which is traditionally used in egg rolls for ground chicken breast which is a much leaner protein.

Last the sauce for this egg roll in a bowl is made lighter by adding NO SUGAR and using chili paste, coconut aminos and rice wine vinegar instead. There's plenty of natural sugar in the vegetables so it's really unnecessary to add more sugar to the sauce.

You see these are simple swaps that make a HUGE difference when it comes to the nutritional balance (carbs/protein/fat) of the recipe and keeping it lighter yet, wholesome and delicious!

      Great question - yes. Just omit the chicken. You could easily add tofu in its place or beans for a protein source.
