HOW TO MAKE A BUDDHA BOWL YOURSELF

Maybe you have no idea what a Buddha Bowl is, so especially for you I would be happy to explain this a little bit more. It’s actually really simple, you just trow some healthy and yummy ingredients in a bowl, you mix them together and you are done. When you create a bowl like this it important to make sure you add ingredients that contain all the nutrients your body needs.

The first step in creating a Buddha Bowl is to choose which grains you would like to add. For this recipe I use cooked quinoa but you can also ass bulgur, rice or couscous. Then you go green. Plantpower!  Most of the time I fill my bowl with a lot of lettuce or spinach (less calories!). After you decided on your greens it’s time to choose a protein source. For a vegetarian bowl you can either choose tempeh, tofu, beans, lentils  or chickpeas.  And last but not least it’s your mission to fill your bowl with a lot of veggies, veggies and veggies. Be creative and mix it up! Any kind of vegetable will do.
