Superfood Buddha Bowls 3sp

 


I've noticed this on a few sites and decided to make some today :)

I didn't make any bowls to use other days because I have the time to make them fresh. Good to know you can if you want to though.

Superfood Buddha Bowls 3sp depending upon how much avocado you use. Makes 4 bowls. Just put the dressing in a small container and don't add the avocado until you want to eat one.

  • 2 cups of cooked quinoa
  • 6-8 cups of baby kale
  • Canned or cooked beets sliced or diced. 2 cups
  • 1 cup of frozen edamame thawed
  • avocado 
  • 4 tbsp unsalted toasted sunflower seeds
  • DRESSING
  • 1/2c hummus I made my own
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Mix together the hummus and the lemon juice and divide into 4 small dressing containers. The hummus I used is 0sp Will post the recipe later.

Into each container add:

  1. 1/2c cooked quinoa 0sp
  2. 1 cup of baby kale 0sp
  3. 1/2c cooked beets 0sp
  4. 1/4c edamame 0sp
  5. 1 tbsp sunflower seeds 1sp
When you are ready to have one just grab a dressing container and add however much avocado you would like to have with it. Today I had 46g which is 2sp.
