Toddler friendly grain bowls!

The toddler in my life likes meals that involve making lots of choices, and will try almost everything if you pass it off as a "topping". He particularly loves if he's allowed to "cook" for other people by assembling grain bowls for them, by having them tell him their order and dumping spoonfuls of things onto a bowl of rice or farro or whatever.
So, this is motivating me to try more options. What flavor combinations do you like in a grain bowl? He is super adventurous about flavors, so by toddler friendly I really mean super fast and easy. But I've also got some pickier eaters in the mix, so things that also work well deconstructed for the kid who will only eat plainish chicken and rice, and maybe a side of raw cucumber. |

| Is this a humblebrag? You could’ve just asked for best grain bowl combos without mentioning the toddler since he eats everything. |

Not OP, but you seem to be trying hard to take offense here? |

Look online at restaurants who do grain bowls.
Cava, Sweetgreen, and nandos come to mind. |

| We do bowls like this a couple times a week. I do a cava style (quinoa, hummus, tzatziki, cucumber, tomato, chicken or lamb, sometimes eggplant) an Italian (farro, chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella balls, olives, sometimes sun dried tomatoes) a fajita (usually rice but sometimes quinoa, roasted onion/pepper/mushrooms, chicken, sour cream, corn) and an Asian (salmon, rice, edamame, shredded carrots). We love our bowls and the kids are like yours- anything with toppings and getting to assemble their own works |
