I am currently finding Buddha Bowls so sexy. Their ingredients can be prepared over a lazy Sunday, stored in the fridge and then leisurely packed into your lunch box….sure to cause immense envy among co-workers and friends.
Here are a few Buddha Bowl staples in my kitchen that will hopefully inspire you to start creating your own.
- Hummus
- Roasted Veggies (red onions, red pepper, fennel, cubed or wedges of butternut, courgettes, roasted cauliflower etc)
- Micro- leaves (much higher in nutrients and so gorgeous too)
- Thai Slaw (Shred some red & white cabbage & carrots ahead, dressing them just before serving)
- Cultured Veggies (no fridge is complete with out some sauerkraut or kimchi)
- Corn Chips (Natures Choice does a lovely NON GMO version)
- Quinoa (Cook ahead and freeze in small portions)
- Mexican Black Bean Salad
- Boiled Eggs (the ultimate & complete retro packed lunch-food)
- Roasted Sweet Potato Medallions (I use the Jewel variety and leave the skin on – slicing them into 6mm thick medallions)
- Avocados (obviously)
Preparing some super-food sauces ahead like my Turmeric & Tahini dressing makes throwing these Buddha Bowls together even more effortless:
Turmeric & Tahini Dressing
- 1 tablespoon of ground turmeric
- 3 tablespoons of tahini paste
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of pink salt
- 1 clove of garlic, freshly crushed
- 50 ml of filtered water
Add all the above to a jar, seal tightly with it’s lid and simply shake until you have smooth emulsion. You end up with this gorgeous bright yellow (happy colour) creamy dressing that has hugeĀ health benefits.
Ā Happy trowing pre-prepping and showing off your fabulous bowls.
As always, with love, and in dedication to your best health,
