You start with a base of whole grains, rice, noodles, or legumes; load on a generous assortment of cooked or raw vegetables; and top with a boost of protein and a dressing, sauce, or broth. It's an easy, healthy meal you can have for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or, if you like, all three! Kelli Foster, who writes about food for the popular website The Kitchn, serves up in these pages an amazing variety of Buddha bowl ideas, all vibrantly colored, live with flavor, and oh-so-comforting to eat." -- Back cover.
