Black bowl of colorful salad with guacamole, tortilla chips, black beans, tomatoes, and lime on a wooden board

This prebiotic burrito bowl is a simple, wholefood meal that comes together in under 15 minutes, making it one of the most practical options for meal prep lunches throughout the week. Each serve provides approximately 17g of plant-based protein and 13g of fibre, making it a filling and balanced meal.

Black beans are a rich source of prebiotic fibre, which feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut and supports a healthy gut microbiome. They are also a good plant protein option. Combined with sweet potato, avocado, tomato and leafy greens, this bowl contributes approximately 5 plant points per serve

MEAL PREP TIP:

Prepare the beans and sweet potato in advance and store them separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble your bowl fresh at lunchtime and make the smashed avocado just before eating.
