Buddha bowls are a simple, plant-based meal that brings together an array of fresh vegetables, healthy whole grains, lean protein, and topped with a tasty dressing. A great go-to recipe that can be put together in just 30 minutes, and we love it cause it’s healthy. Served hot or cold, it’s completely up to you!
