Buddha bowls—light, healthy meals comprised of a whole grain, lots of vegetables, a healthful protein source, and a flavorful sauce—are all the rage.

This recipe is excellent for meal prep by preparing 4 individual servings in sealed containers and refrigerating it to be enjoyed during the week. You can also serve this recipe in one large dish by following instructions and arranging all ingredients in one large salad bowl instead of 4 individual serving bowls. Watch the video for a step-by-step tutorial to creating your own healthy Buddha bowl!

This bowl combines the star nutrition power of whole grain sorghum and beans with cool green veggies, such as arugula, avocados, cucumbers, asparagus, and pumpkin seeds.

Plus, it’s topped with a house-made, plant-based Green Goddess Dressing that is as tasty as it is pretty. Get the full recipe here and watch the how-to video below.
