Buddha bowls, nourish bowls, power bowls and macro bowls are nutrient rich bowls loaded with protein, grains, veggies and more. The best thing about buddha bowls is that you can swap out any of the nutritious ingredients for your favorite flavors.
This Buddha bowl is packed with organicgirl i heart baby kale! In addition to adding the raw fresh greens to the bowl, I created a creamy green dressing.
Sometimes the salad dressing is the best part of a salad. This salad dressing came together one day at the last minute. I needed a salad dressing for my salad and was all out of my favorite organicgirl white cheddar dressing. Instead, I mixed together some ingredients I had available and created this smooth and creamy dressing made with avocado, lemon juice, organicgirl i heart baby kale and fresh mint. The dressing is so flavorful and refreshing. I could eat it by the spoonful!
Go ahead, nourish yourself with this berry green buddha bowl with lemon avocado kale mint dressing!
