A buddha bowl is basically a bowl full of all the good stuff. It is typically vegan but really you can add what you fancy, it’s perfect for using up leftovers in the fridge. The key with these bowls is to balance the nutrients with a good base, rice, chickpeas, puy lentils, butter beans are good options, then add a wide variety of veg, cooked in different ways to add texture and then top with a delicious dressing that will bring it all together.
