My new years resolution was to try Veganism for a month. I made this decision for many reasons, one being I always seem to eat the same foods and I think it is about time I got more adventurous. Although there are hundreds of wonderful recipes out there sometimes I just want to use up what is in my cupboards but cant think of how to throw it all together to ensure i have a balanced meal....
One solution is the Buddha Bowl, a dish I keep seeing on Pinterest and food blogs . A bowl full of a yummy nutritionally balanced foods.... Usually containing , quinoa, chickpeas, butternut squash or sweet potato and avocado..... Heaven!!!
If you fancy giving it a go.... here are the Basics of making a Buddha bowl.... enjoy!!
.1) Starch:
Roasted sweet potato cubes; Cooked quinoa, buckwheat, millet, rice, amaranth, barley, couscous, etc…; Cooked or raw corn kernels; Roasted white potato slices; Cooked winter squash, noodles or pasta
2. Protein:
Cooked beans or lentils; Cooked tofu, tempeh or seitan; Peas; Edamame; Leftover Chili; Cooked, crumbled or sliced veggie burgers or cutlets
3. Extras:
Any nut or seed; Grated coconut; Apple slices; Raisins or dried cranberries; A sprinkle of granola; Olives; Sun-dried tomatoes; Nutritional Yeast; Roasted Red Peppers; Pickles
4. Veggies
(cooked, or raw, or a combo of both): Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Mushrooms, Carrots, Zucchini, Peppers, Onions, Sprouts…
5. Dressings:

I can't believe how appealing these are to me - at so many levels! (Don't know how I haven't heard of Buddha bowls before....)
I'love to try these dishes!
i just got online to try and find some macrobiotic bowl combination ideas, so thanks for this!
(also, i post photos on my instagram of vegan food/recipes, :) @hungryrightmeow)
Kudos on wanting to be kinder to the earth and live a healthier life. As you so rightly point out, it isn't hard to be vegan, you just have to think about it and how you cook for a bit till you get in the habit of rearranging the ingredients on your plate and working out how to use a few new ones. I have been vegan for about 15 years now and remember how difficult it was for the first month. After that you just get into the habit of cooking with more vegetables and veggie ingredients and once you are there, you find you miss your "regular" ingredients less. I love your site. It's my little patch of Bohemian bliss on the net :)
I love the idea, Thanks.
OOh delicious! I love a mixed bowl. One of my regualr favourites is noodles, tofuand spinach (all warm) topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Congrats on trying the whole vegan thing!! It's so rewarding! I really love these bowls, but I don't make them nearly as often as I should, which is a shame.
