Balanced and easy to make, Buddha bowls are a fantastic lunch option that leaves you energised for the rest of the day.

This Rainbow Quinoa Buddha Bowl recipe has a nice Asian twist with the ginger dressing. I use a mix of black, red and white quinoa which I find very pretty, but you can choose any colour you like.

If you make it ahead for your lunch box, add the avocado and dressing just before you are ready to eat.

This recipe makes enough for two Buddha bowls.
