Taste the rainbow

After a gluttonous few weeks (OK, months) of holiday eating, we’re ready for a cleanse. But none of this liquid-only, calorie-counting business. Something we can feel good about eating: the Buddha bowl. Essentially a mishmash of protein, veggies and grains, this Pinterest-worthy meal is also an easy way to use up leftover produce. Healthy, efficient and delicious? Bring on the bowls.
