Buddha bowls are always our favorite way to eat a healthy meal with lots of veggies. Vegan buddha bowls are super versatile. Just add what veggies, beans, grains, and fats that you have on hand and toss with your favorite sauce.
This BBQ Tofu Buddha Bowl is a staple in our home and gets my picky husband to eat his veggies. His is different than mine. I don’t eat a lot of soy so instead of tofu, I’ll roast some cauliflower and toss it with some homemade bbq sauce. If I’m not feeling quinoa-y, I’ll sub cauliflower rice in mine or just leave it out altogether.
