One more power bowl on the blog – this time with baked tofu and mango sauce. You can fry tofu with oil to increase its taste, but it tastes also good without frying and it's certainly more healthy. I also recommend the power bowl with roasted chickpeas and the bowl with tempeh skewers.

The power bowl is a good way to eat more raw vegetables. Sometimes it's difficult to just reach for carrots or greens and eat them with taste, but in the company of other bowl ingredients with yoghurt sauce, dressing or simply with olive oil and lemon juice it is much easier and more pleasant for the taste buds.

The power bowl aka Buddha bowl is supposed to resemble the round belly of the Buddha figurine, to be filling and, above all, to make you happy. It should be composed according to certain rules, but I personally don't stick to them rigidly. As a wholesome meal the power bowl contains in certain proportions protein and carbohydrate components, vegetables (baked, raw, blanched), fruits and healthy fats. The percentage of the individual ingredients is as follows: proteins should make up approx. 20% of the bowl, carbohydrates 20%, vegetables 20%, healthy fats 15%, greens (leafy vegetables) 10%, fruits 10%, topping 5%.

The Buddha bowl is also a great culinary opportunity to diversify your meals, because it can be composed in many different ways choosing the ingredients from the particular groups that you like best. Today I would like to present to you one of my favourite power bowls.

For the first time I came across a vegan bowl aka Buddha bowl in a very nice restaurant Wegeguru in Warsaw and I was immediately enraptured with the variety of flavours, colours and textures as well as with the excellent kombucha (in my opinion the plum kombucha is the best). Inspired by the delicious cuisine of this restaurant, I developed my own vegan bowl. Starring tempeh as a protein component, rice as a carbohydrate component, plenty of vegetables, including obviously a lot of greens and the most wonderful plant in our galaxy, the most delicious of the delicious fruits, the marvel of nature – avocado.

Voilà.
