This vegan green goddess bowl is perfect for meal prep! I like to make all the components in advance and keep them in the fridge for work from home lunches. I find the chickpeas get the crunchiest when cooked from scratch. It is also a lot cheaper this way! I cook a big bunch then freeze them! Of course, this is not always possible, and canned will do as well!

Prep – Tofu Feta: Blend 1/2 block extra firm tofu*, 1/4 cup melted refined coconut oil*, 3/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon, optional – 1/2 tsp oregeno
- It is essential you use Extra Firm tofu for the feta to get the crumbly texture
- It is essential you use refined coconut oil over any oil because it is the only oil that solidifies when re-refrigerated giving it the crumbly texture! Refined means it will not have the coconut-y taste that virgin coconut oil has.
