Buddha Bowl

Fluffy quinoa, roasted veggies with a side of fresh rocket leaves and avocado, sprinkled with shelled hempseed and a tahini and coriander drizzle.

(Drizzle made from adding tahini or nut butter to the coriander chutney).

This is definite favourite in our home. We often have it for our lunch. Especially on our #glutenfree days
