We take tender, shredded tofu and coat it in smoky-sweet BBQ sauce, paired with fresh, crunchy veggies and a hearty grain base. Oh, and did I mention we drizzle my Creamy, Healthy 5-Minute Vegan Ranch Dressing on top, too?! Yeah, it seriously doesn’t get better than that!

Wait… What’s Shredded Tofu?!
I’ve shared a ton of easy and healthy tofu recipes over the 10 years that I’ve been a Dietitian, but if you’ve never had Vegan BBQ Shredded Tofu, don’t worry!
It’s basically just extra firm tofu that we shred with a cheese grater so we’re left with tiny little strips that soak up alllll of the delicious flavor of our seasonings!

Use Whatever Grain You’re Feeling!
I’ve tested these meal prep tofu bowls with precooked brown rice, couscous, quinoa AND sweet potato, and all options are absolutely delicious!
That said, when I want this meal to come together EXTRA quick, I use microwavable rice! It’s such a hack that means this whole bowl comes together in like, 15 minutes flat.
Want to add a bright, crunchy side to this healthy plant-based bowl? My Sesame-Lime Cabbage Salad adds the perfect zippy, refreshing contrast to the smoky BBQ flavors in this bowl.
