Three easy vegan Buddah bowls

Buddah bowls are a great meal option because they’re so versatile. You choose a grain base, two or more veggies, a protein and a dressing of your choice. We love putting cashew cheese on everything, so we put together three Buddah Bowl recipes that include a cheesy dressing made of Zengarry Fauxmage.

Smokey Jalapeno and rice bowl

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups of long grain rice

• ½ cup of corn, fresh or frozen

• 1 16oz can of black beans, drained

• 1 avocado, sliced

• Small red onion

• Romaine lettuce

• ½ package Fauxmagerie Zengarry Smokey Jalapeno fauxmage

• ½ cup vegetable broth

Instructions

1. Cook the rice according to package directions. For extra flavour, add some crushed tomatoes, cumin and cayenne pepper in while it cooks.

2. Steam corn, on stovetop or in microwave.

3. Dice red onion and avocado into small pieces. Wash and slice romaine lettuce.

4. In a saucepan, mix Zengarry Smokey Jalapeno fauxmage with ¼ cup of vegetable broth and whisk until smooth. Add more vegetable broth until the sauce is thin enough to drizzle.

5. Add rice and black beans to bowl.

6. Top with corn and red onion.

7. Drizzle the cheese mixture from earlier.

8. Finally, top with the lettuce and avocado.

TIP: If you’re making this in advance, toss the avocado in lime juice. Keep it and the lettuce in a separate container, and heat up the rest of the ingredients before adding them.
