The concept of 'Buddha Bowl' is a modern invention, mainly popularized within the vegan and health-conscious communities. The name is derived from the concept of a bowl filled with wholesome food being a 'Buddha-like' diet.

A friend of mine who' a vegan shared this recipe with me and it became an instant hit in my kitchen! It' a beautiful blend of vibrant colors and diverse textures, offering a 'rainbow' of nutrients in each serving.
