Buddha Bowl with Peanut Sauce

If you love a good bowl, then you will love these Buddha Bowls with Peanut Sauce. I mean it doesn’t get any better than peanut sauce right?! I think I could drink this sauce it’s that good. This bowl makes for a great meatless meal but would also be great with an addition of tofu, chicken or salmon. If you love to prep as much as I do, plan to make a lot of these ingredients at the beginning of the week and have them ready to easily throw these bowls together for lunch or dinner.

Can I add more protein to this dish?

Yes! This would be great to add chicken, tofu or salmon to.

Can I keep the peanut sauce for the week?

Yes! I like to store the peanut sauce in this dressing/sauce mixer in the fridge to use all week long. You may want to add more water to it as it sits in the fridge to get to the right consistency.
