Depending on the size of your bowl, maybe you don’t want to pile it that high on top, and you want to have a base, like quinoa or couscous or brown rice, and then you can add a selection of veggies and some salad and a protein source like tofu or chickpeas etc, and of course you need a dressing too.

For this vegan Buddha bowls, I chose quinoa for the base, a delicious stir-fried tofu for the protein, roasted chickpeas, cilantro, pomegranate and sliced avocado topped by a tomato-based sauce.
