Build a Buddha Bowl - The Vegan Way

We all have our go to recipes, but it’s easy to get bored of these very quickly. I thought it would be better to give you a formula and let you have fun creating your own recipes. This method allows you to pick and choose ingredients you may already have in the cupboard, while making sure you get the perfect ratio of ingredients to deliver optimum taste, texture and nutrition. Enjoy!
