Buddha Bowls
Wait but what is a "Buddha bowl exactly?"
Buddha Bowls are nothing but a combination of all the elements you need to create a healthy and nutritious lunch or aka the easiest way to let your imagination flow and create a unique meal within a circular space, where the possibilities are endless!
​
The making of a Buddha Bowl consists of three simple steps:
​
1) - Starting with the base (usually carbohydrates) such as quinoa, rice, beans, pasta but you can also use fresh salad leaves for a lighter version!
​
2) - Then add the Protein! Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian or omnivore, protein is an essential nutrient to incorporate into your diet.
Here again you have endless possibilities: eggs, falafels, chickpeas, lentils, meat, fish, tofu and even Broccoli and spinach which contain a lot of protein as well!
​
3) - Finally time to play! Now it's all about having fun and combining your favorite colours and ingredients in a single bowl! Any Healthy fats (avocado, nuts), more CARBS( corn, roasted pumpkin) or more veggies (asparagus) will look perfect alongside your base and protein!
Now time to enjoy!
