I love a good Buddha Bowl for dinner and sometimes even lunch. It’s such an easy and fun way to get your nutrition in. The general rule is you add your carbs, protein and veggies and then anything else that tickles your fancy really! The combinations are endless. What’s really cool is, you can have all the ingredients there ready to go and everyone can make their own the way they like it. This is my go-to fave with tofu, brown rice and a rainbow of veggies. But you can interchange the tofu for chicken or beef, have quinoa instead of rice, the choice is yours. I always like to have some pre-cooked rice or quinoa in the fridge ready to go for things like this! The almond butter sauce is optional but makes it super delicious. The recipe is per person so double or triple to your needs.
