Notes
- Sauce Options: We're drizzling these particular buddha bowls with yogurt sauce, but you can also top your bowls with yumm sauce, romesco sauce, blueberry vinaigrette, or your favorite salad dressing.
- Is a buddha bowl hot or cold? Both! While this version is mostly cold, there are some that are served hot (like this roasted veggie buddha bowl).
- Storage: I recommend keeping all the ingredients seperate if possible. For meal prep, just keep any juicy or liquid ingredients, like oranges or sauce, separate. Combine them when you're ready to eat.
