Now that we are going back to work and school, we all are looking for delicious, healthy, simple lunch options, no? I am showing you here how YOU can make a Buddha Bowl with no recipe.
After moving to Cambridge, I found a restaurant right next to our home and my work that sells excellent lunch (half portion) and dinner (full amount) with grains, vegetables, protein, dressings, etc. I am partnering with Filippo Berio to show you THREE nourishing Buddha bowls inspired by that.
What goes in a Buddha bowl?
| Grains | Rice, Bulgur, Quinoa, Wild Rice, Pasta etc |
| Protein | Tofu, Paneer, Chickpeas, Beans, Edameme, Eggs etc |
| Vegetables | Spinach, Mushrooms, Avocado, bell pepper etc |
| Crunch Factors | Seeds, Nuts, Crunchy vegetables such as carrots, radish, cabbage etc. |
| Dressings | Hummus, Vinaigrette, Ginger Miso Dressing etc |

When it comes to my everyday cooking, I use their olive oils daily.
- I have used their (yellow) Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Olive oil for sautéing mushrooms, tofu, cauliflower, etc.
- When it comes to making my dressings, I either use 100% Italian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- California Extra Virgin Olive Oil is used for a little drizzle over edameme, chickpeas etc.
- Delicato was used for hummus and whenever I make dips.
They have eight different types of Olive Oil, and we use and LOVE them all!
