BUDDHA BOWLS

Buddha, Buddha, Buddha!! I want to say that fast three times when I'm talking about these delicious bowls! So colorful! So delicious! You may have seen these bowls floating all around social media and I know I could not wait to give them a try since we've been on a healthy eating kick. However, I wanted to change ours up a bit so this is what I came up with.

Yum

Our boys were somewhat picky when they were younger but definitely not now and since our youngest is trying to get lean and strong for pre-football season, this was something I knew he'd love to try and he gobbled up every last bit which makes me know it's a huge hit! Heck, I could even eat these ingredients on a bed of spinach and not even have the rice.

 So Full of Flavor and Healthy antioxidants!
