3 Healthy and Easy Meals Young Adults Need to Know How to Make

From grain and veggie bowls to ramen and overnight oatmeal, these recipes will help you ensure your young adult has a few meals they can make on their own.

As a parent, you may worry that your kid will be subsisting on late-night junk food once they’re out of your house and on their own. There may be a fair amount of snacking like that, but by making sure they have a few recipes they can make on their own, you can rest assured that they are at least capable of preparing and feeding themselves a nutritious meal. And hopefully, the next time you talk and you ask “Have you eaten anything green today?” the answer will be "Yes, and it was a vegetable, too.”

Burrito bowls, taco bowls, Buddha bowls, goddess bowls, quinoa bowls, whatever you call it, bowls are a great option for lunch, dinner, or healthier snacking. While restaurants from fast food (Chipotle burrito bowl) to higher-end (The Ribbon in NYC) have gotten on the bowl bandwagon, these concoctions don’t require eating out to get a ton of nutrients in a convenient package at home -- or in a dorm room. The best part about bowls is you can easily swap any of the ingredients and have a completely different meal.
