My first bite of quinoa came in a beautiful Buddha bowl. I was out with yogi friends at vegan cafe in NYC, and I could not believe that this pseudograin had been missing from my life. Now, throwing together a quinoa bowl is a staple recipe in my weeknight routine. My roommate and I cook a large batch of quinoa, barley, or farro every Sunday afternoon, and use a scoop in lunches and dinners all week long. I love piling up fresh, bright, and beautiful layers of ingredients to top off my quinoa with whatever I all ready have in the fridge or see at the farmers market. Try it out for yourself and get inspired with these 13 beautiful bowl combinations.
