Buddha bowls are hearty, filling dishes made of various greens, raw or roasted veggies, beans and a healthy grain like quinoa or brown rice. Sometimes they also include toppings like nuts, seeds and dressings for added texture and flavor. After I’ve changed my lifestyle, especially my food choices, I needed to find a way where I can add different, healthy but also filling ingredients in a fast way together – my solution: Buddha Bowls. Easy to make, easy to pack and super delicious.

In my opinion, everyone who really wants a lifestyle change is able to get it. Not overnight or in a short amount of time, but if you start with small, sustainable changes you will be able to change the way you feel about food and the way you see food. No one should punish their bodies by restricting themselves or starving – instead we all should nourish, respect and love our bodies. I discussed the topic about lifestyle changes and nutritional changes with a friend a few days ago and thought it might be a good post and a starting point for anyone who is new or not really sure on where to start when it comes to nutrition.

I recently had a delicious recipe for grilled sweet potato slices with beef so I decided to recreate it at home as a vegetarian option. It is super easy to prepare and a fun dish as an appetizer or a side dish variation. You can add basically everything you want on top of the sweet potato, my personal favorite is smashed avocado with tomatoes and radish.  Other delicious toppings are cottage cheese and peer or greek yoghurt with small pieces of cucumber and garlic. Give it a try and be creative with your toppings.

Who doesn’t love to start the morning with fresh, homemade pancakes? I’m personally not a fan of store purchased mixtures or ready to eat pancakes, instead I prefer a healthier option. I found a recipe for healthy protein pancakes online but I decided to change a lot of ingredients and this recipe is my personal favorite. The texture is soft and rich – just like regular pancakes, but filled with a lot of nutritional benefits to start your day healthy instead of sugary.
