Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate only and will change depending on type of veggie burger used.
You can definitely prep all of the components in advance, but I recommend assembling the bowls more or less at the last minute.
Having said that, I do think that these bowls makes a delicious packed lunch, and as long as you keep the wet ingredients (like pickled onions and burger sauce) off until it's time to serve, they'll last for a few days pre-packed in the fridge in an air-tight container.
