Bowl foods are on a roll. Spinning on from the smoothie bowl, the açai bowl and the Hawaiian poke bowl, we are now in the grips of the next chapter of bowl mania, the Buddha Bowl.
Buddha bowls ... What are they?
Buddha bowls, nourish bowls, rainbow bowls, hippie bows, macro bowls, yoga bowls, call them what you will, but they all point to the same idea, an entirely vegetarian medley served, in yes, bowls.
Each hearty bowl comes generously packed with a variety of plant-based foods, cooked or raw, boasting desirable nutritional credentials and countless photo opportunities, making them instantly Instagram-licious.
According to The Guardian, we can take solace that this is more than a superficial food fad, and one rooted in "authenticity," – "these bowls are loosely based on the practice of ōryōki – meditative eating – and the bowls are modelled on Buddha’s head."
