This vegan Buddha bowl is a delicious mix of colorful vegetables and warm grains. Perfect for any season, this healthy Buddha bowl is plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
There are no strict rules for what to include in a vegan Buddha bowl. Just use whatever you have on hand and the ingredients you like best.

A good guideline is to include some raw or steamed vegetables, whole grains, beans or tofu, and top with seeds, nuts, or microgreens. Finish with a healthy, light dressing.

Buddha bowls often use rice noodles, quinoa, buckwheat, or millet. Here, I’ve used barnyard millet (samak rice) as the base.
