mexican buddha bowl
My favourite meal consists of anything with raw and fresh vegetables. Mexican flavours and food can be so yummy but often full of hidden sugars and preservatives and can leave you feeling very sluggish. This yummy bowl is a healthy version of those meals and is a great snack plate or salad. You can add whatever fresh veggies you have in your fridge! I have used some delicious spicy falafel chips from the wholesome food company in here too which are sooo good and a great extra protein hit with the crunch. I found it super yummy to fill the lettuce leaves with a bunch of veggies on the board with some chips and guac on top!! Feel free to add some other protein like some scrambled tofu, beef mince or spicy chicken pieces!
