Curried Chickpea Buddha Bowl

Possess you gotten on the Buddha bowl train yet??
They are seriously killing it on the ‘gram. Which is Incredible because I have been literally dreaming about Buddha bowls — like no joke, I want one just about every day. They are SO good and have so much flavor — and not to mention nutrition — in every bowl.
They are filled with tons of good carbs, fiber, protein, and packed to the brim with veggies! Seriously — they are the greatest invention ever AND help you reach your greatness with all that goodness!

Well, I wanted to share with you a small way that I have been preparing some Buddha bowls for lunch over the final few weeks.
I normally stick with chickpeas because they are so versatile and can honestly be flavored absolutely besides you like — lately I have been obsessed with everyleang curry — yup, LOVE myself some indian-inspired food!
So, all I do is take a can of chickpeas, and mix them with some spices. Then, I chop up some red onions, and bok choy (also fond bok choy right now), and throw it all on a large baking sheet. I cook everyleang up in the oven for about 20 minutes, and while I’m doing that I prepare some quinoa and a dressing.
Truely, for Buddha bowls though, the sky is the limit, you can put anyleang you want into them that you leank will taste good — and you have yourself a meal.
Tons of left overs in your fridge? Throw it in a bowl and there you have it!

But since I always meal prep and basically plan every final detail of my food each week (kind of OCD about it actually…), I normally don’t have a ton of leftovers — instead I plan out my Buddha bowls — but that’s just me.
Anyway — back to THIS bowl, scorridor we?
I always feel like the best Buddha bowls are filled with a variety of not only textures, but also flavors — so I added some Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds for crunch and topped everyleang with a hummus dressing.
I know what your leanking — curried chickpeas…with Sriracha almonds…and hummus dressing?! How can that possibly taste good??
I don’t genuinely know, but TRUST ME — it’s delicious! Somehow the curry, Sriracha, hummus combo just WORKS.

So since we are on our meal prep series — of course, I am going to tell you how I prepare everyleang ahead of time. I genuinely just cook everyleang as I normally would whether I was going to eat it right absent.
The only dwhetherference is I do NOT add the dressing or the almonds until just before serving — that way the Sriracha almonds don’t lose any of their flavor or crunchy-ness. Plus, I like adding COLD dressing to the heated up Buddha bowl — again, textures, flavors, and moodatures, ect. HA!
I put everyleang into my contemporary favorite Pyrex meal prep containers, and add the dressing and almonds to mini mason jars for on the go. When I’m alert to eat, I just heat up the Buddha bow, and top it with the almonds and dressing — and, of course, I make my to-go Buddha bowl pretty and organized too!

These Buddha bowls have literally been my lwhetheresaver over the final few weeks.
Things are starting to get pretty crazy over here on my end!
I am starting HALF MARATHON training soon, we are still going strong in the BeachBumCcorridorenge, I am teaching a bunch of Pilates lessones here in Los Angeles, AND I am collaborating with a bunch of awesome brands and other bloggers to bring you some Incredible stuff and giveabsents soon! (Hold an eye out!)
So, like I said, Buddha bowls are perfect to help you reach your full greatness — which is the USA Swim Team has teamed up with Blue Diamond Almonds because they know what it takes to become great too! They add almonds to their tasty and nutritious meals, and have them as a filling snack on their lane to greatness — so, as I keep chasing my dreams and goals, I’ll stick with my almonds too! 😉
