What kind of greens work best in these Buddha bowls?

You can use any leafy greens like spinach, kale, or lettuce to form the base of your Buddha bowls, depending on your preference.

Can I prepare the orange-cinnamon yogurt dressing ahead of time?

Yes, the non-dairy orange-cinnamon yogurt dressing can be whisked together and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

What grains are recommended for this 15-minute Buddha bowl?

This recipe suggests using cooked grains such as quinoa, couscous, bulgur, or brown rice. Choose whichever you prefer or have on hand.

How should I store leftover Buddha bowls?

For best freshness, store the dressing separately from the assembled bowls. Once dressed, these bowls are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. The avocado may brown slightly.

Can I substitute the blueberries and mandarin oranges?

While blueberries and mandarin oranges provide a unique sweetness and tang to this specific bowl, you could experiment with other fruits like sliced peaches or grapes if desired, though the flavor profile would change.
