Roasted Tempeh & Root Vegetable Buddha Bowl

What’s a Buddha Bowl?

Buddha Bowls are generally more of a formula than a strict recipe. They contain all the macronutrients we need from food: protein, fat, and carbohydrate. By including all of these in one meal, our body feels more satiated and stay fuller for longer. Buddha Bowls are usually vegan, but some feature eggs or chicken.

They get their name from being so full with delicious food that they resemble the round belly of Buddha. The bowls are usually filled with a rainbow of foods to provide you with all the different nutrients your body needs. A food trend in 2017, over 370,000 pictures of Buddha Bowls can be found across Instagram.

What Did I Include in This Buddha Bowl?

  • Protein = Organic Tempeh (16 grams of plant-based protein per serving)
  • Fat = Avocado & Vegan Rosemary Aioli
  • Carbohydrates = Sweet Potato & Organic Yellow Potato
  • Baby spinach and lots of spices!

If you’re missing any of the ingredients, put your creativity hat on and use what you have. That’s the beauty of Buddha Bowls…they allow you to use up whatever you have on hand (or anything that needs to be eaten up!).

I love watching what my clients over in The Clear Skin Solution come up with!

Some other of my favourite combos are:

  • Falafel + Cucumber + Sweet Potatoes + Lemon Tahini Drizzle
  • Hummus + Garden Veggies + Avocado + Cauliflower Rice
  • Roasted Chicken + Shredded Carrots & Cabbage + Green Onions + Almond Butter Sauce
  • Poached Egg + Sauteed Garlic Greens + Avocado + Sweet Potatoes

I also love mixing up the types of sauces or dips I have with my Buddha Bowl. In this recipe, I use my Rosemary Garlic Aioli. You could also have it with my Creamy Hemp Heart Caesar Dressing or The Tastiest Secret Sauce. If you want to give it an Asian flare, try the Sesame Almond Butter Dressing I use in my Soba Noodle Salad recipe.
