Lately we have the most random mix of food in the fridge. We normally go grocery shopping once a week because we go through a lot of produce, but now we’re using grocery delivery when possible. Availability has been limited and certain food products are sold out.

That’s why I love this easy, healthy meal. A buddha bowl is the perfect way to use whatever you have in the fridge and make it work for lunch or dinner.

This recipe is:

  • vegan + vegetarian
  • gluten-free
  • refined sugar-free
  • anti-inflammatory
  • oil-free
  • paleo (use a paleo burger patty)
  • dairy-free
  • corn-free
  • soy-free
  • peanut-free

The perfect buddha bowl formula

For a satisfying buddha bowl, I like to divide my bowl like so:

  • ¼ protein
  • ¼ starch
  • ½ or more of the bowl is veggies

For my bowl’s starch, I usually use potatoes, sweet potatoes, quinoa, or brown rice. For protein, try lentils, beans, chickpeas, or a veggie burger.

For veggies, think ‘taste the rainbow’ and then add anything and everything. Try a mix of roasted veggies, sautéed veggies, and fresh veggies. Roasted veggies are so simple and tasty, making them the perfect option for a busy night.

Tools + ingredients:

  • Parchment paper
  • Vegan burger patty
  • Potatoes or sweet potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers
  • Fresh greens (spinach or arugula)
  • Bok choy, mushrooms, and/or broccoli
  • Coconut aminos
  • Garlic powder and pepper
  • Fresh ginger & garlic
  • Veggie broth

Recipe FAQs:

Can I use a different dressing or sauce?

Yes! You can easily make this a themed bowl, such as Mexican, Italian, or Japanese by introducing certain veggies and using a sauce other than tahini. This particular bowl is inspired by Mediterranean and Asian flavors.

What if I don’t have a veggie patty?

You can easily substitute hummus or legumes if you’d like to add protein. Try roasting chickpeas in the oven at 400º for 20 minutes, add a sprinkle of cumin, garlic, and pepper.

Can I meal prep a buddha bowl?

Sure! Keep the dressing in a separate container, then store the buddha bowl in a sealed container. The bowl should last for 3-5 days in the fridge.
