VEGAN BUDDHA BOWL

By Cassey Ho of Blogilates

Hey guys!

I’m drooling as I write this post because OMG this might just be THE most delicious vegan dish I have ever made! I’m not vegan but I’ve been eating this for lunch for 3 days straight and I am not getting sick of it. The best part is, it’s 100% meal preppable, so one cooking sesh will last you a few meals (or more depending on how much tofu you decide to marinate).

Oh and speaking of marinade, I used one unusual ingredient to make it, and it is the reason WHY this bowl tastes so good.

Organic Cucumber Juice.

I had never even tried drinking cucumber juice until I discovered Evolution Fresh’s Organic Cucumber Glow™. I was a little hesitant to taste it, given that I am not a big fan of celery juice, but you know what??? You’ve always got to try new things because you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

I was actually REALLY surprised! Cucumber juice is super refreshing and cooling! If you’ve ever had spa water with cucumbers floating in the water, it’s like that, but with way more flavor! There’s some tart lemon and a dash of Himalyan pink salt in Organic Cucumber Glow™, creating a perfectly balanced flavor combo. I loved it way more than I thought I would!

So anyway, I started drinking Organic Cucumber Glow™ and was like…wait…what if I cook with it!!??? I started experimenting in the kitchen and omg, I came up with one of the best bowls I’ve ever made! It’s totally meat free and so so sooooooo good. Seriously, you’ve got to give this recipe a try. It’s 100% 90 Day Journey friendly too!

I present to you…my Vegan Buddha Bowl! It’s high protein, delicious, energizing, healthy, and makes my digestive system very happy! Enjoy 🙂

Ingredients


Directions

    • Step 1

      Mix the Evolution Fresh Organic Cucumber Glow™ juice, coconut aminos, and lime juice in a bowl and add salt to taste! Double if you want extra marinade (which I recommend to top off)!

    • Step 2

      Grab your firm tofu and dice it into little cubes!

    • Step 3

      Carefully place the tofu dices into your marinade and store in tupperware. Let it sit for 15-30 min, turning the tupperware over to make sure fully marinaded. Option to leave in marinade overnight!

    • Step 4

      Meanwhile, boil your sweet potato for 10 minutes or until soft enough to easily stick a fork through the potato. Once done, peel the skin off and dice it.

    • Step 5

      Dice fresh onions and saute with some oil. I like sesame oil best because it gives the onions that rich Asian flavor. You can sprinkle with some salt to bring the sweet onion flavor through.

    • Step 6

      Add some oil (sesame oil is best) to a pan then pour the marinated tofu (plus marinade) into the pan. Heat your pan to high heat and cook until all sides are golden brown and marinade has evaporated.

    • Step 7

      Scoop half a large avocado out and dice into cubes.

    • Step 8

      Chop some green onion for topping.

    • Step 9

      Microwave some cauliflower rice in a bag! I buy mine from Costco and Trader Joes. if you’re buying a bag of fresh cauliflower rice, saute in a pan for 5-8 min or until it’s a bit softer.

    • Step 10

      Time to decorate your bowl! I put the cauliflower rice on the bottom, and section out the tofu, sweet potato, onions, and avocado on top! Add chopped onion and extra marinade to top with more flavor.
