Charlotte\u2019s newest takeout restaurant is taking the guesswork out of weeknight meals \u2014 with hearty, chef-crafted protein bowls.<\/p>\n

Dank Bowls<\/a>, a meal prep service focused on healthy, high-protein foods, officially opened Tuesday, June 2, inside Knowledge Perk Coffee Company at The Alley at Latta Arcade<\/a> in uptown.<\/p>\n

The business offers a rotating menu of chef-made bowls, each made with fresh, whole ingredients. Think: meats, grains, legumes and plenty of veggies.<\/p>\n

Hot-and-ready meals are available weekdays from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. alongside frozen, meal-prep style bowls that can be cooked later in the week, owner Daniel Richtand told CharlotteFive. Frozen, ready-to-heat bowls can also be picked up at Dank Bowl\u2019s other location in South End (inside Fresh Monkee<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers can expect hearty portions, ancient grains and legumes they may have never heard of, and meals that taste home-cooked because we don\u2019t use preservatives or artificial additives,\u201d Richtand said.<\/p>\n

Each bowl comes with two toppings of your choice, plus Dank Bowls\u2019 signature \u201cCLG-1\u201d sauce: Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime and garlic.<\/p>\n

Featured options include:<\/p>\n

At its core, Dank Bowls is a meal prep business, Richtand said.<\/p>\n

Customers can buy a single bowl for $15.50-$16.50, or subscribe to receive six, nine or 12 meal prep-style bowls every two weeks (prices start at $14.17 per bowl).<\/p>\n

Dank Bowls offers pickup at both of its uptown and South End (inside Fresh Monkee) locations, plus a delivery option on Sundays between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
