The Rubio's California Bowl is one of my favorite meals to grab while on-the-go. The bowl comes with citrus rice, black beans, lettuce, guacamole and chipotle white sauce. Choose your protein and enjoy!
I'm loving them even more now that they came out with their California bowl and salad options. I typically order their tacos or burritos but since I have been on the path of finding healthier options I have been opting for less carbs and more protein.

The Rubio's California Bowl Ingredients
The standard California bowl comes with:
- Citrus Rice
- Black Beans
- Cabbage or Lettuce
- Guacamole
- Salsa fresca
- Chipotle Lime Crema
- Avocado tomatillo vinaigrette or roasted chipotle salsa
- Choose your protein: natural chicken, grilled seafood or grilled veggies
My favorites are the grilled chicken (above) and the pan-seared shrimp (below). You could also top it with blackened tilapia or Mahi Mahi.

On the Go Meals
I love to take my kids to Rubio's for a mid-day lunch date. We follow it up with a trip to Chucky Cheese or the park for playtime. Sometimes we just have to enjoy what's right in our neighborhood, any day of the week.
