Quinoa Buddha Bowl with Egg, Chickpeas and Vegetables
·Carbs
Don't forget a source of carbohydrates – here we've used cooked quinoa.
Vegetables
Add whatever vegetables you fancy, cooked or raw. Steamed broccoli or sliced carrot work well, but really almost anything goes. Sprouts are a great addition too.
Protein
Always include a source of protein, such as an egg (or swap in tofu, tempeh or fish instead).
Legumes
Legumes work brilliantly here too – we've gone with chickpeas.
Finishing touches
Finish with a "sauce" to bring it all together – think chickpea hummus, guacamole or a yoghurt-based dressing. Soy sauce, fish sauce or a sprinkle of spices work well too.
Tip:
You can swap the quinoa for rice, bulgur or noodles as your base. If you don't have any leftover grains at home, couscous is a great option too – it's easy to make fresh, even just for one serving.
