So maybe we can\u2019t spoon ice cream<\/a> out of a bowl for every meal. But that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t ditch plates for breakfast, lunch and dinner. By now you\u2019ve probably fallen face first into a burrito bowl, power bowl or quinoa bowl. Health restaurants and fast food joints alike are embracing the bowl mentality. (And get this: The U.S. News and World Report<\/a> recently named bowls one of the top food trends for 2016.)<\/p>\n
