I've been feeling inspired to cook lately (here's to hoping that lasts awhile), so I made this delicious Buddha Bowl for lunch today. I know I'm always looking for quick and healthy recipes, as it feels like I never have enough time to actually cook something (shout out to Trader Joe's). But this took me around 30 minutes and I'm really proud of how it turned out, so I thought I would share!

It’s as easy as that! This was a delicious, healthy, and a very filling lunch. What more can you ask for? It also makes a lot, so it would be great to make at the beginning of the week, and then eat for lunches for the next couple days. I hope you enjoy!
