Warm or cold, packed with protein or leafy greens, grain bowls offer hearty and healthy goodness that everyone can enjoy.
The Granola Bar of Rye
96 Purchase St, Rye; 914.709.4229
This spot may specialize in granola, but there are plenty of savory options to go around. The Buddha Bowl consists of warm quinoa, sautéed spinach, avocado, portobello mushrooms, tomato, and a soft egg with choice of dressing. For a twist, try ingredients over a bed of roasted cauliflower or sautéed kale. The Macro Bowl with beet hummus, sweet potato, goat cheese, and walnuts over sautéed kale with tahini vinaigrette has proven to be a fan favorite.

Chow down on one of the four bowls: The flank steak bowl is packed with sweet soy-marinated steak, roasted broccoli, pickled carrots, spicy mayo, sesame, and quinoa (which can be traded out for brown rice), while the ancient grain bowl is loaded with both quinoa and freekuh, plus roasted cauliflower, baby spinach, chickpeas, pomegranate, and a delectable curry vinaigrette. The brown rice bowl is loaded with fire-roasted corn salsa, black beans, avocado, aji verde, and radish sprouts. Last, but definitely not least, is the chipotle chicken bowl with a bed of rice and beans topped with lettuce, avocado, crispy tortilla, cheese, sour cream, and, the star of the show, chipotle pulled chicken.
