Tips for making your Buddha Bowl:

1. Make your Buddha bowl pretty! The more vibrant the better: carrots, beets, avocado, zucchini, purple cabbage and black same seeds.

2. Mixing raw and cooked veg not only ensures you have the alkalinity and enzymes to boost your digestion; it also satisfies that crunchy craving. Try using shaved carrots or a bed of shaved romaine as your base.

3. Play with texture and variety. Steam and chop beets, julienne carrots, roast your sweet potato, thinly slice avocado.

4. Adding kimchi, pickled peppers, pickles, or sauerkraut will ensure better digestion and heal your gut at the same time.

5. Pick veggies and ingredients like toasted nori, Japanese sweet potato and tamari and toasted sesame oil in your dressing.
