Kripalu Recipe: Buddha Bowl
Kripalu's beloved Buddha Bar offers a variety of foods simply prepared along with various spices, sauces, and condiments. Guests love to build their own Buddha Bowls according to their dietary needs for that day. The bowls themselves are sized to provide enough food to sustain you but not so much that you feel sluggish. Our Buddha Bowls sell like hotcakes in the gift shop, but any 3-cup bowl will do. It’s most important to fill your bowl with a balance of colorful greens, grains, vegetables, protein-rich foods, and some nuts, seeds, seasonings, or sauces for color, pop, spice, and crunch.
