End Of Summer Buddha Bowl

Gather up all your leftover summer veggies and make this nutrient packed, super filling End Of Summer Buddha Bowl! You’ll love it even more than back to school… 😉

No, summer isn’t over yet technically… But Halloween stuff is already popping up all over place; so is pumpkin spice EVERYTHING ( thank you Starbucks!) and pools are already closed for the season, even though we’re expecting yet another heat wave this week. Fall produce is slowly starting to make its way over to the market shelves, as we say goodbye to all the colorful and juicy summer fruits and veggies.

To give the sunny, warm months the appropriate send off, we have gathered the most beautiful, fresh, local ingredients into this delicious Buddha Bowl.

Super colorful and nutrient packed, this bowl is a complete meal in, well… a bowl! Plant based protein from chickpeas and quinoa, chuck full of fiber and vitamins from the greens and veggies and healthy fats from avocado, sunflower seeds, pistachio and chia. All drizzled with a sweet and spicy homemade strawberry and peach dressing.

Hope you enjoy this last little bit of summer 🙂
