A Buddha bowl is basically a balanced meal served in one bowl. And as much as I love going out to brunch in NYC, it is extremely satisfying to cook up a nutritious weekend mid-day meal at home. In your kitchen, you can ensure that love is the main ingredient.
Here is a template and a few suggestions for my favorite Buddha bowl lunch or weekend brunch:
- whole grains | quinoa, millet, brown rice, gluten-free toast
- greens, cooked or raw | spinach, kale, chard, arugula
- seasonal veggies, cooked or raw | broccoli, sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower
- beans or protein | aduki beans, chickpeas, lean meat, organic eggs
- sauerkraut | fermented foods aid in digestion
- simple dressing | my go-to is EVOO, apple cider vinegar, lemon, mustard, tahini, herbs + spices
- nuts + seeds | my favorites are pumpkin, hemp + sunflower seeds
- nutritional yeast [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][optional, great source of B12 for non-meat eaters]

- avocado | always + forever
