For the full recipe for this buddha bowl download my recently released FREE eBook; Plant Based Day. It’s the dinner recipe, and it’s a great day to wind down your first full day of plant based eating.
The free ebook Plant Based Day is a one day plant based, gluten free vegan menu that contains recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and a snack. That’s right. You can venture into your first full day of plant based eating in a snap. My goal is to honestly make going plant based a little easier for you than it was for me. Most times people ask me how to starting eating plant based, and the next question is normally “do you have any easy recipes I can start with?” I totally understand the need for help because when I changed my diet completely, I was pretty hungry for a few months. Why? Because I couldn’t figure out what to eat and how to make it. That’s all changed now.
Back to this buddha bowl. I love buddha bowls because you can plate up a variety of ingredients prepped in different ways and you have a full, balanced and nutritious meal. You can also prepare many of the ingredients in advance and use them to make different varieties of bowls. So I also like them because they are convenient. There are not strict rules here. Just remember the goal is to get more plant based foods on your plate.
