Rainbow Buddha Bowl
There aren’t any hard and fast rules when creating a Rainbow Buddha Bowl except to add in the full spectrum of colors and create a rounded, overflowing bowl that resembles a Buddha’s belly! Use grains or greens as a base, and then toss in a variety of vegetables (both cooked and raw) with a dose of protein (plant-based or animal) for a balanced and satisfying meal. Get creative and experiment with a range of tastes, textures, and colors for a vibrant meal that can be made differently each time. Use the ingredient list for inspiration!
