Cava Falafel Bowl

I grocery shop mostly at Trader Joe’s and they have a ton of cool foods to be able to create these Cava bowls! However, you can find other delicious foods to put into these cava bowls at other stores as well. The Cruciferous mix is technically optional, but it gives the bowl a little bit of a crunch!
