Zen Buddha Bowl

Buddhist monks are known for the calm and balanced spirit. When life feels rushed take time to enjoy one of nature`s bountiful Buddha bowls. I recommend taking a few minutes to meditate before every meal, to promote your body`s release of digestive enzymes and optimal digestion. Add sprouts to boost up your digestive powers. Buddhist`s are also known to eat their meals in quite reflection… so take time to relax and find your zen. The great news is that Buddha bowls can be made with anything you have in your refrigerator!
