Equipment

  • 1 small mixing jar for the dressing
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • medium-sized frying pan

Ingredients

For the Buddah Bowl

  • 2 cups brown rice (you will make 1 cup).
  • 1 15 oz can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 1 bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 cups broccoli
  • 1 medium-sized cucumber (diced)
  • 4 scallions (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut liquid aminos
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • carrot peels (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (for garnish)

For the dressing

  • 1/4 cup cup of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dijon or stone-ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook your brown rice either on the stove or in an instant pot. Combine 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil, in a pot. Bring it to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 45 minutes. Pressure cook it for 30 minutes in your instant pot with the same listed ingredients.
  2. Heat your frying pan with avocado oil on medium for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Once warmed up, add your rinsed/drained chickpeas, 2 cups of broccoli, and coconut liquid aminos. Fry everything together for about 10 minutes, flipping frequently or until everything crisps up. Set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, dice your cucumber, bell pepper, scallions, and avocado.
  5. In your large buddha bowls, divide your brown rice, arugula, broccoli, chickpeas, avocado, and veggies evenly, keeping everything grouped together.
  6. Garnish with your dressing, seeds of choice, and carrot peels, and enjoy!
  7. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 days.
