Buddha bowls are super easy to make and a staple in my home. It’s a simple way to combine healthy proteins, carbs, and flavorful veggies to make a hearty meal in minutes!

I always keep a bowl of brown rice and sliced veggies in my fridge for this very purpose!

BEAUTIFUL BUDDHA BOWL RECIPE

(Serves 2)

INGREDIENTS

• 2 c brown rice, cooked

• 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 4 Tbsp water
• 1/2 avocado, cubed
• 3 Tbsp Bragg’s liquid aminos

DIRECTIONS

1. Add garlic and coconut oil to a saucepan and saute for 3 minutes.
2. Place broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers in a pot with 4 tablespoons of water and cover for 3-5 minutes or until veggies are crisp and tender.
3. Add spinach to pot for 1 minute, then remove from heat and drain.
4. Place brown rice in a bowl, add veggies, top with avocado and liquid aminos, and enjoy!

TIPS/SUBSTITUTIONS

• For even more beautifying nutrients, toss two tablespoons of hemp seeds on top before serving.
• You can also substitute your favorite veggies in this dish and use quinoa instead of brown rice.

Brown rice is a fantastic, gluten-free source of slow carbs to give you incredible lasting energy. Plus, it’s filled with fat burning fiber, unlike its over-processed white rice cousin.

Add the natural fiber content from the veggies, and this meal is ideal for trimming and slimming!
