Creating a Buddha bowl-style dish is so fulfilling and so good for you. There are so many ways you can change up the flavors, and yet have some base items meal-prepped so it is a quick, indulgent meal in minutes.

Today, I made a buffalo chickpea bowl inspired by this recipe: https://whitneybond.com/buffalo-chickpea-vegan-buddha-bowl/#recipe.

I started by making a big batch of grains in my pressure cooker. I combined brown rice, couscous, farro, and barley with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. I will probably rarely just make brown rice on its own again. Adding these other grains provides so much more depth, flavor, and offers different nutrients for the gut. From there, I put on all my toppings and savored my flavorful lunch.
