What Is A Buddha Bowl?

Basically, a Buddha bowl is a bowl with grains and healthy ingredients.

Before the Buddha bowl trend came into the world in 2013, these bowls were also known as hippie bowl, sunshine bowl, macro bowl or simply as a grain bowl.

The Buddha bowl is inspired by Buddhist monks who walk around with their bowls that are filled with what people can give. As a result, the bowl is filled with a variety of ingredients.

Monks follow their spiritual leader Buddha who also walked around with his bowl filled with what villagers could share.

Buddhist monks do not eat meat and are often vegan. That is why a Buddha bowl is often vegetarian / vegan!

A Buddha bowl is a balanced meal that will never be boring, because you can vary endlessly with different grains, vegetables, fruit and other toppings.

Buddha Bowl Recipe

Choose quinoa, rice, pearl couscous, soba noodles or bulgur as the base, and then it’s time to choose the toppings!

In the recipe below, you see the vegetables we use, in the colors of the rainbow. Go for the toppings you like.

Examples include tomatoes, bell pepper, sweet potato, spinach, corn, mango, peaches, pumpkin, broccoli, soybeans, beetroot, avocado and mushrooms.

You can put the vegetables raw in the Buddha bowl, but you can also choose to cook or bake vegetables such as broccoli, pumpkin and sweet potato first.

Because Buddha bowls are often vegetarian/vegan, it is important to have a protein-rich vegetable or grain as a base. Chickpeas, soybeans or avocado for example! Also tasty; these roasted chickpeas.

Finish the Buddha bowl with a tasty sauce (more about dressings later in this article) and, for example, seeds.
