Buddha Bowl
Not only does this quote remind us to stay present, but it mentions 2 of my fav things.. eating and traveling. Walking is pretty cool, too, I guess.. so, 3 of my fav things! Buddha was a wise, mindful man and the Buddha bowl is a mindful meal jam packed with nutrients. You can make these babies vegan, or non. I made myself this vegan one and it was pretty dang delish, if I do say so myself. Best part.. super simple to throw together!
Ingredients:
-1 cup quinoa
-1.5 cups spinach
-1 cup chickpeas
-1/2 avo
-drizzle Better Bean Co Chipotle Dip
-Sriracha hot sauce
-olive oil
-dash turmeric
-dash chipotle powder
-dash pink Himalayan sea salt
-dash oregano
-crushed black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Begin to boil 2 cups of water on the stove top in a pot. Mix the chickpeas, chipotle powder, salt, oregano and turmeric with olive oil in a bowl and once thoroughly coated, spread onto a baking sheet (lined with aluminum foil) or a cast iron pan, like I used. When the oven is heated, put the chickpeas in to bake for 15 mins. Once the water is boiling, add quinoa. Let simmer about 10-15 mins and then let cool another 5 mins. Once chickpeas and quinoa are cooked, fix up your Buddha Bowl. I drizzled chipotle bean and Sriracha onto my quinoa and Sriracha and black pepp onto my avo for added flavor. Voila! You made a Buddha Bowl.
