A delicious grounding veggie Buddha bowl made with all of my favorites. This bowl is just what you need to get you through the day!
I love making Buddha bowls because they always make me feel so energized. Dishing your food into bowls is a great way to control your portion size and make sure your eating the right amounts of each food group.
What is a Buddha bowl?
Buddha bowls are nutritious meals served in a bowl. They are usually vegetarian and contain whole grains, seeds, beans and other vegetables.
- Bulgur wheat is a great low carb option. It’s low in fat, rich in fibre and a great source of protein.Â
- Avocados are nutrient dense and contain healthy mono-saturated fats that lower cholesterol.
- Tomatoes are high in vitamin C, spinach is rich in iron, beans are rich in protein and bell peppers are high in vitamin A.
How to Make Grounding Veggie Buddha Bowl
- Start by cooking the bulgur wheat. Add ½ cup of bulgur wheat, a pinch of salt and 1 cup of water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook on a low heat for 10-15 minutes (or follow the instructions on the packaging).Â
- Meanwhile, heat a splash of olive oil in a pan. Add the onions, bell peppers, a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on a medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
- For this recipe I used pre-cooked beans but you can use canned beans to save time. Wash the canned beans, heat them in the microwave and season with salt and pepper to taste.Â
- Once the bulgur wheat is nearly ready chop tomatoes, prep spinach, slice avocado in half and and plate up.
Alternatives
- Feel free to swap the black eyed beans for black beans, chickpeas or lentils.
- If you want to skip the carbs all together then replace bulgur wheat with greens.
- This bowl can easily be customized. The main point is to pick vegan/vegetarian nutritious ingredients that nourish the body and give you energy!
Storage
This bowl is best eaten fresh. However, you can store it for 2-3 days. You can also turn this into a meal prep lunch bowl!
