Buddha Bowls are a nourishing and satisfying meal made of fresh, leafy greens, whole grains, beans, and raw, steamed and roasted veggies. There are no strict guidelines when building a buddha bowl- you can add just about any whole, plant food that you want! The coolest thing about buddha bowls are that you can mix and match plant foods.
The formula is simple: healthy grains or starch, protein, raw or cooked vegetables, and toppings.
