I finally took the leap and made a version of the viral hot honey ground beef macro bowls with cottage cheese, sweet potatoes and sliced avocados, and let me tell you, they definitely lived up to the hype! I sprinkled mine with this everything bagel seasoning and scooped it all up with tortilla chips.

Not only is this bowl recipe basically how the team and I have been eating lunches on those days that we seemingly only have random ingredients in the studio fridge for YEARS, but the flavor combo is actually legit, and the macros can’t be beat — I’m talking 34g of protein per bowl!
