Beet & Orange Buddha Bowl

Buddha bowls are perfect for the busy (and healthy!) mom! They’re quick to whip up (really whatever veggies you have in the fridge will work), taste great and give you a plethora of nutrients in just one bowl (here’s another one of my favorites)! This beet and orange bowl is perfect for summertime dinner as it’s light, fresh and filling.

The “Buddha bowl” is a classic hippie dish. They’re normally vegan, packed full of delicious vegetables and sprouts and of course are utterly tasty!

I personally love Buddha bowls because they’re easy to customize and even easier to throw together.

This Beet & Orange Buddha Bowl not only taste great but is full of health boosting, gut friendly ingredients. Most people don’t consume beets regularly, but they should! Just the deep color of beets makes me want to add them to dishes. But the real perk is that they’re a great liver helper and detoxifier.

The dressing for this bowl initially came from Oh She Glows and has a miso base. Miso is a fermented product which means just by eating this bowl you’re giving your gut some love.

And lastly, quinoa. A super food in its own right. Quinoa is both a grain and a good protein source making it an ideal base for this bowl. It’s light, fluffy and pairs well with everything.

    I haven’t had a buddha bowl in ages, and love that they are so easy to make! I don’t cook with beets often enough, this looks like an incredible recipe–thanks so much for sharing 🙂

    Seems easy enough to make. Beets are making a comeback! I usually use beef powder. I can’t remember the last time I ate them.

    This looks delicious! Forgive my ignorance what is miso or would there be a good alternative? 🙂

      Thanks Katie! Miso is a fermented soy paste and has kind of a tangy taste to it. Because it’s fermented it’s amazing for your gut bacteria. There’s not a great substitution but you could try omitting it and adding more tahini. The flavor profile would be a bit more dull but I think still tasty!

      You don’t like beets!? I suppose I can accept that 😉 Honestly any veggie you enjoy would work but I’d sub with grated carrots- same texture and they work well with orange 🙂
