Build Your Perfect Buddha Bowl!

Ever made a Buddha Bowl? This beautiful, nourishing meal is a bowl of balance—packed with vibrant veggies, grains, and plant-based protein to keep you energized and satisfied. Here’s how to create your own masterpiece:

1. Start with a Base: Choose a wholesome grain! Brown rice, quinoa, farro, or cauliflower rice are all fantastic choices. This will give your bowl a hearty foundation.

2. Load Up on Greens: Add a handful of greens like kale, spinach, or arugula for vitamins, fiber, and color. Fresh or lightly sautéed, they’ll add a boost of nutrients.

3. Add Roasted Veggies: Roasted sweet potatoes, zucchini, broccoli, and bell peppers give your bowl rich flavor and natural sweetness. Aim for a mix of colors for that “eat the rainbow” effect!

4. Protein Power: Top it off with a plant-based protein like chickpeas, black beans, lentils, or tofu. These will keep you full and provide essential nutrients.

5. Healthy Fats: Add some avocado slices, a sprinkle of nuts, seeds, or a dollop of hummus. These healthy fats make your bowl creamy and satisfying!

6. Fresh Add-Ins: Toss in shredded carrots, cucumbers, radishes, or cherry tomatoes for a fresh crunch.

7. Drizzle the Dressing: Now for the finishing touch! A tangy tahini, a lemony vinaigrette, or spicy peanut sauce can take your bowl to the next level. Drizzle and enjoy!
