Building the Perfect Buddah Bowl

For this Bowl, I chose to use ingredients that I already had in my kitchen. It is easy to keep many of these items constantly in your pantry, so making a healthy meal never has to be hard!

1. Choose one or two items from each of the components list. I would stick to choosing one base carb and many base veggies and other toppings. Add foods you know you enjoy and try some new foods along with them! These bowls are meant to be fun and easy to make. *Quick Tip: Having Base carbs and proteins already meal planned helps to make these bowls super quick and efficient throughout the week. All you’ll need to do is add your veggies and toppings! For my bowl, I cooked large amounts of sweet potatoes and tofu to keep refrigerated throughout the week, that way I always have them on hand to heat up for my bowls!

Roasted sweet potatoes and tofu make for a great Buddah Bowl base.
