While Buddha bowls vary from dish to dish – the formula remains the same. Not only are they jam-packed with rich nutrients and vitamins that aid weight loss and overall well-being, but are also a great way to use up any leftover produce.

If you’re not already on the Buddha bowl bandwagon, here’s an easy-to-make Greek Buddha bowl recipe to try at home.

You will need (Ingredients):

Chickpeas
Feta cheese
Cherry tomatoes
Green pepper
Couscous
Cucumber
Olives

Dressing:

3 tbsp olive oil
½ lemon
Parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper

Method:

One last note…

Buddha Bowls are vegan, so there shouldn’t be any animal products like meat, fish or bacon in them.
