  4. Prepare the cucumber relish and dressings while the hot ingredients are cooking. (Instructions for them below).
  5. To assemble the bowls, add cooked rice/grain to a bowl. Add desired portions of cooked sweet potatoes , mushrooms , onions , fresh spinach , and sliced avocado . Drizzle the sweet potato with the red pepper miso dressing . Drizzle the spinach with apple cider vinaigrette dressing . Sprinkle with hemp seeds (optional).

This vegan buddha bowl recipe combines fresh greens with savory grains and delicious dressings to create a mouthwatering mix of flavors. It's like a party in your mouth!

When spring days start warming up as summer approaches, I start craving foods that are super FRESH. Like vegan salads, fruit smoothies or vegan buddha bowls – such as this mother earth bowl.

In case you're wondering – YES this recipe is inspired by the mother earth bowl at Flower Child, a really cool restaurant that truly has something for everyone – vegans and non-vegans alike. I visited one of their locations this winter and have been craving this dish ever since.

Here's my take on the mother earth bowl, slightly simplified for cooking at home.
