How to make a buddha bowl?

To compose a buddha bowl, it is to manage the mixture of flavors without forgetting to respect the good dosages. The recipe always revolves around 3 types of ingredients: proteins, vegetables and green leaves in equal quantities. Ready to go? We begin by having 1/3 of protein in the bottom of the bowl. Especially vegetable proteins. So that they are well assimilated and used by our muscles, we always mix cereals and legumes. So we can mix pasta and lentils, rice and chickpeas, quinoa and beans, ... We then add 1/3 of vegetables, cooked or raw. And complete with green leaves like spinach shoots, cabbage kale or, more basic, lamb's lettuce ... It only remains to choose a few toppings and a beautiful seasoning and the bowl is ready! Hazelnuts, fresh herbs, sprouted seeds ... it's up to you!

What do I put in my bowl?

We can of course make some sprains to the recipe above. The buddha bowl is not necessarily vegetarian: you can add chicken salad Caesar, salmon and even fried eggs! We can also allow some differences by introducing fruits in the recipe: mango, pomegranate ... We put on super foods as tasty as good for our body! Obviously, all the mixes are not good to do. Especially if you want to respect the healthy side of the buddha bowl.
