Meal Prepping These Bowls

To meal prep these Hot Honey Chickpea Bowls, simply prep the ingredients as you normally would. Place the hot honey chickpea servings in each meal prep bowl (opens in a new tab) and let cool completely before adding an airtight lid. I recommend using a separate container for the veggies (as you only want to heat up the chickpeas when reheating) and adding the ranch dressing as a final step before enjoying!
