What if I told you that what you start your day with will impact the rest of your day? Putting together a healthy, nourishing breakfast does not need to be difficult or time consuming and a Buddha bowl such as the one I created will keep your energy levels up for the whole morning and prevent unwanted cravings that can lead to unhealthy snacking. It is also a creative way to finish all your left-over veggies from previous meals.
A Buddha bowl usually consists of a grain, fresh or roasted veggies and good quality protein and a healthy fat. I put this bowl together in less than fifteen minutes as I cooked the red and white quinoa in my pressure cooker in ten minutes, while simultaneously boiling the egg in an egg boiler device. (Yes, I am a bit of a kitchen gadget junkie). The rest is just left-overs from meals over the weekend like the corn that I cut from half a cobb and the roasted artichokes and sweet peppers that I used on our home-made pizza on Friday. Furthermore I just added a bit of everyday fresh ingredients fom my refrigerator. I really love the idea that you can add all of your favorite things to your bowl, the key is just to have some balance, a good quality grain, good protein, healthy fats and your favorite veggies. Why not swop out some of your veggies for some of your favorite fruits if you feel like it?
