How to make a Buddha bowl
My go-to recipe lately: quinoa, chickpeas, spinach, sweet potatoes, avocado, cucumber slices, hemp seeds, and a peanut butter Thai dressing. While the quinoa is cooking, I dump in the can of chickpeas, steam the bags of sweet potatoes and spinach in the microwave, cut up the cucumber and avocado, then mix everything in a big bowl once it's ready. And voilà! I've got myself a delicious meal in under 10 minutes with enough leftovers for 1 to 2 more days.
The best part about these bowls (aside from the low effort and high nutrition) is that you can customize them however you want or need. Here are some options:
  • Base: rice, quinoa, whole grain pasta
  • Protein: egg cooked to your liking, chicken, beans, corn, grass-fed beef, salmon
  • Greens: spinach, massaged kale, steamed broccoli, roasted Brussels sprouts
  • Other veggies: onions, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, mushrooms
  • Topping: fresh herbs, chopped almonds, sprouts, seeds (e.g., hemp, chia, sesame)
  • Sauce: tahini, hot sauce, fresh squeezed lemon, hummus
