Superfood Buddha Bowl
By Lisa Collins
A Superfood Buddha Bowl is a nutrient-packed meal that is both delicious and healthy. It typically consists of a variety of colorful vegetables, grains, and proteins, all served in a bowl. The name "Buddha Bowl" is thought to come from the idea of filling up your bowl until it resembles the round belly of Buddha. Superfoods, such as sweet potatoes, broccoli, and chickpeas, are often included in these bowls due to their high nutritional value and vitamin density. In this type of meal, you can mix and match ingredients to create a bowl that suits your taste preferences and dietary needs.
