What is a Buddha Bowl?
A Buddha Bowl is a customisable meal that typically consists of a base of grains or greens, topped with a variety of colourful vegetables, protein, and a delicious dressing. The beauty of a Buddha Bowl is its versatility - you can tailor it to your taste preferences and dietary needs.

Why This Buddha Bowl is a Health Hero
- Protein Powerhouse: Falafels are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
- Fibre-Filled Feast: The combination of beans, corn, and avocado provides a good dose of fibre, promoting digestive health and aiding in weight management.
- Healthy Fats: Avocado is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and promote heart health.
- Nutrient-Dense Veggies: Roasted pumpkin is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- The Almond Butter Advantage: Our 99th Monkey Salted and Smooth Almond Butter adds a creamy, nutty flavour and a boost of healthy fats. Almond butter is also a good source of protein and fibre.
Why Meal Prep Your Buddha Bowls?

Tips for the Perfect Buddha Bowl
- Get Creative with Toppings: Add your favourite nuts, seeds, herbs, or spices to your Buddha Bowl.
- Balance Your Macros: Ensure your Buddha Bowl includes a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats.
- Store Properly: Store your pre-prepped ingredients in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
- Reheat Mindfully: When reheating your Buddha Bowl, avoid microwaving the avocado, as it can become mushy. Instead, reheat the other components and add the avocado fresh.
