Winter Buddha Bowl with Sweet Potato Waffles (Paleo AND Vegan)

Winter Buddha Bowl with Sweet Potato Waffles - paleo, vegan AND gluten free!

Buddha bowls exploded in the internet, and you couldn’t log into Pinterest without being bombarded with images of the most colourful bowls that made you feel #wellness just by looking at them. They started popping up on menus and invading our Instagram feeds, and truth be told I thought I was done with them. Oh how wrong I was.

I actually now crave these bowls that contain anything and everything – usually because it means I can add dollops upon dollops of hummus. The options are endless, and I love how it means you can throw foods into a bowl and it’s immediately a delicious meal.

Now, this is THE buddha bowl. The one I could eat on repeat this winter. It’s:

  • Paleo
  • Vegan
  • Gluten and grain free
  • Good dose of good fats and complex carbs
  • Veggies galore

Get as creative here as you want. You can toss it all together, or try and make it pretty. Totes up to you, it’ll taste just as fab either way =)
