WHAT IS A BUDDHA BOWL?
Mealtimes are about taking time out, for you and for your body.
But you don’t always want to spend hours in the kitchen, and if you opt for a plant-based diet, it can be tough to know whether you’re eating a perfectly balanced bowl of food at every meal.
That’s where the magic of Buddha Bowls steps in. Following a simple formula of grain + green + protein, these nourishing and tasty bowls are full of goodness that will restore you at the end of a long day or after a workout, and get you raring to go over lunch or in the morning.
But what is a Buddha Bowl?
Simply put, it is a bowl bursting with ingredients, so that it resembles the overstuffed belly of Buddha. Using a mix of ingredients, hot, cold and warm, Buddha Bowls aim to take the stress out of putting a meal together. Don’t worry about having everything ready at the same time; instead, slowly assemble your bowl and mindfully enjoy the variety of temperatures, textures and flavors that eventually come together. Each of the recipes in this book contains the perfect balance to make a delicious meal for one—a meal that can be easily expanded to feed any number of people by simply multiplying the ingredients.
1. Take time to find your perfect bowl—one that fits perfectly into your cupped hands, or one whose appearance fills you with a feeling of joy, nourishment and gratitude.
2. Bed every bowl with an abundance of greens such as kale or spinach. These link us visually to nature, while filling the body with essential vitamins, minerals and fiber.
3. Then mix in raw and cooked veggies and enjoy the delicious mix of hot and cold, sweet and sour, crunchy and soft.
4. Add grains for an earthy texture and taste, and to fill you up, then protein to nourish your body and restore your muscles. Plant-based proteins are ideal for those following a vegan diet, while eggs and cheese have been included in various recipes for their superfood concentration of protein (and delicious-ness!).
5. Add your final flourish with a dressing or sauce: it can be anything from a simple drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to one of the tasty dressings or sauces in this book (see pages 21–27).
6. And finally, sit back, relax and take the time to enjoy every mouthful. Slowing down aids digestion and allows you to listen to the needs of your body as you eat.
