First the sauce. This green tahini “pesto” is so good we’re thinking of making a recipe of it’s own. It’s made with tahini, a handful of fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, and garlic. We didn’t expect tahini and basil to go so well together; It was a pleasant surprise. We believe you will love it.
Then we have black beans and quinoa, which are great sources of fiber and protein, among many other good things. Both macronutrients are essential to a balanced meal, which is the whole point of a Buddha Bowl. Quinoa is particularly useful here, as in any vegan diet It is one of the few plants that everyone has nine essential amino acids Your body needs to build proteins (called a complete protein Source).
Finally, here come the heroes of the court. The tender stem broccoli! They are wonderful vegetables that combine the culinary qualities of broccoli (the florets) and asparagus (the edible stalk). Additionally, like any other dark green vegetable, they are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that help your skin and cells stay young.
