Millet Buddha Bowl

Millet Buddha Bowl

Generally the Buddha Bowl consists of a non-gluten grain or meat base, topped with a colorful selection of veggies and drizzled with a yummy sauce.

I like to think of this dish as a delicious, macrobiotic mix of nutrient-dense flavors, tossed together using whatever ingredients happen to be in the fridge.

The Buddha Bowl is a staple in my family dinner rotation and the kiddos have fun dressing it up with the veggies and sauces of their choosing.

The recipe below features millet, which similar to quinoa, is a versatile, non-gluten grain chock full of nutrients. High in fiber, calcium, magnesium and B vitamins, millet has a mildly sweet nutty flavor. It also has complete essential amino acid profile making it a great source of plant-based protein.

Another cool thing about this ancient grain, is that over half of our nation’s millet is produced right here in CO (our home state!), so by choosing millet you’re also supporting local agriculture!

I must confess that while I’m no stranger to the Buddha Bowl, I’ve never made or eaten millet before! I’m not much of a grain person myself, so I tend to stick to what I know and like. Quinoa has always been my go-to, but seeing that millet has such a similar nutrient profile and mild taste, I’m a new fan.

That being said, the options for the Buddha Bowl are endless. The millet used in this recipe could easily be substituted with quinoa or cauliflower “rice.” Steamed or massaged kale would be a delicious add-on here as well.




Get creative. Have fun. Use what’s in your refrigerator. And let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear about your favorite Buddha Bowl creations and if you give millet a thumbs up!
