Buddha bowl
Hi friends, I hope you're fine? I went to see my godson in Paris this summer and we went to eat in a restaurant where they served vegetarian dishes. That's when I tasted my first buddha bowl!
In two words delicious and complete.
It was a treat and I was really hungry after, I even had trouble finishing it.
It is not complicated to realize and often we think that the vegetarian dishes are bland and tasteless and are not complete at the level contributions but that on the contrary, it is a complete meal and by adding a small vinaigrette or a small sauce, it changes everything. The ideal is also to mix the textures between softest and most crunchy or crunchy.
To be complete and healthy, the buddha bowl must contain carbohydrates, vitamins, good fats and proteins as it avoids deficiencies.
The buddha bowl name comes from the well-rounded Buddha's belly, like the top of these bowls filled with good things.
The base of the buddha bowl is made of proteins, vegetables and seeds, but you can add all the ingredients you want.
The principle of Buddha bowl is simple, we combine in a large bowl several healthy and balanced ingredients to refuel.
The advantage of the buddha bowl is that it can be cold, hot (with vegetables roasted in the oven), or between the two depending on the season, the time of day or according to our desires. In winter, in the evening, we prefer a hot buddha bowl while in summer at noon, we will rather choose a cold or lukewarm Buddha bowl, for you to see.
Composition
We start with whole grains and legumes for about a third of the bowl, for example lentils with rice, red beans with quinoa, chickpeas and rice, ... These legumes are high in protein, they allow you to eat vegetarian without missing anything. If you want, you can replace them with an egg (raised outdoors at least, organic is even better) or tofu.
Then add the vegetables for the remaining two-thirds of the bowl, such as salad, spinach, kale, broccoli, zucchini tagliatelle (I simply make it with a potato peeler), carrots grated, cucumber, ...
For more pleasure, the ideal is to alternate the raw vegetables in pieces with vegetables in leaves and dice and to mix the colors because we also eat with the eyes, if one has a flat without nuances of colors, it will appear less appetizing than if it is well colored and lively.
Crushed seeds and oleaginous crops such as almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, hazelnuts, pistachios, etc. can also be used.
To fill the bowl, simply distribute the various ingredients in several layers.
We start with the salad, then we put a row of legumes and a row of vegetables. And to finish in beauty, we can drop above an egg and crushed seeds.
The sauce
You will tell me all these ingredients are good and healthy but with a little sauce it would be even better. You are absolutely right; o)
The sauce in the buddha bowl is very important because it is she who will be used as a binder so that all the ingredients are married well between them and that bowl turns into delicious dishes.
There are several sauces of course, here are three that I particularly like:
The peanut sauce
The peanut sauce blends particularly well with the buddha bowl. To prepare it, nothing more simple, you need:
- Puree of peanuts and cashews (easily made in a blender or on sale in organic stores)
2 Yoghurt (with soy preferably for vegans)
3 Olive oil (extracted mechanically cold and organic if possible)
4 Cider vinegar (organic)
5 Lemon juice (organic).
We mix everything and it's ready! If desired, you can also add herbs such as coriander, parsley or chives.
Tahini vinaigrette
Tahini is a sesame cream made from crushed sesame seeds, with a little water, until you get a smooth paste, it's relatively easy to do or you can find some in stores organic.
This vinaigrette is made of a tahini base to which you can add mustard, scented oil, lemon juice or spices, according to your desires and tastes.
We mix everything is ready!
The sweet and savory sauce
This little sauce is perfect for lovers of sweet and savory. To prepare it, you need:
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil (extracted mechanically cold and organic if possible)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 1 rounded teaspoon of cashew nut puree
- 1 pinch of salt (unrefined)
- Pepper
We mix everything is ready!
With these three different sauces, you can already make a lot of original and delicious buddha bowl.
I hope this article has made you hungry and made you want to eat a little healthier and try to make a buddha bowl? Why not try this weekend quietly?
What's good is that with the same buddha bowl but a different sauce, you can do several meals without getting bored. You can prepare two buddha bowl with the same ingredients but put two different sauces and eat one at night and keep the other for the next day at work.
Enjoy!

Buddha bowls are great because they can be customized in so many ways to meet someone's needs. I think they are a great transition meal when someone comes to me for nutritional advice, trying to change their diets.
