No matter what time of year: With a Buddha Bowl you always have variety in the bowl. The ingredients can be so multifaceted and varied according to your mood. Buddha bowls score points with many fillers, vital substances, and, above all, their taste. Seasonal foods in particular are ideal for preparation.
The base
Cooked grains such as spelled, oats, millet, rice, or quinoa as well as legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans form the basis of every Buddha Bowl. There is a lot of digestive fiber and blood sugar-regulating complex carbohydrates in it.
With vegetables such as peppers, sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, tomatoes, pumpkin, or beetroot, many vitamins, minerals, and secondary plant substances end up in the bowl. These vitamin boosters taste great raw, fried, or steamed.
The topping
As the icing on the cake, poached eggs, grilled cheese, roasted meat, fish, marinated tofu, or cottage cheese provide a good feeling of satiety and plenty of vital substances.
Components such as avocado, mango, pomegranate seeds, berries, and apples provide lots of vital substances. Nuts, kernels, and seeds provide plenty of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, which can be sprinkled over the Buddha Bowl at the end. It’s that easy to make your own Buddha Bowl.
That certain something
If desired, the Buddha Bowl can be topped with a sauce or dip. How about a sauce made from pureed cashew nuts, a herb yogurt sauce, a turmeric quark dip, or a curry dressing made from peanut butter with soy sauce and curry powder? Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
Create your own Buddha Bowl (ideally with seasonal foods) that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
