Directions:

Add all ingredients to a Vitamix or other powerful blender. Blend until smooth and store in a glass bottle in the refrigerator for 7 days (smell before each use it will start to smell sour when it’s going bad). Shake well before drinking.

-Taste it! Every nut butter is different. If it taste too watery, add more nut butter, and if it’s too rich, add more water. If you’re used to store bought nut milk, definitely add the optional ingredients!

*I have made this recipe with other nut butters but highly recommend using the linked raw cashew butter by Artisana for the milk as it is creamier and gets a much more “milky” consistency!

Ingredients:

1 cup black rice

1 zucchini

1 small shallot

1 tsp avocado oil

For the topping:

1 1/2 avocados

1/2 cucumber, sliced

1 cup shredded purple cabbage

2 Tbsp lemon juice (divided between bowls)

1 Tbsp pumpkin seed oil (divided between bowls)

3 Tbsp chopped macadamia nuts

Sauce: your choice but in my opinion a buddha bowl needs sauce! Try hummus, cashew queso, or green goddess dressing

Directions:

Cook rice to package directions. I love forbidden black rice by Lotus Foods!
Heat avocado oil on medium heat in a medium sized pan. Add zucchini and shallot, salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
Slice avocado, cucumber, and cabbage and set aside.
When the rice is finished, assemble bowls with rice and top with the veggies. Squeeze on some lemon juice and sprinkle with some chopped macadamia nuts. Drizzle on some pumpkin seed oil and enjoy!

Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, has a beautiful deep purple color. It is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and contains more protein than any other rice.

Pumpkin seed oil is a rich, luxurious oil to use as a finisher on dishes. It has a delicious pumpkin seed flavor and rich green color. It also contains a lot of antioxidants in addition to healthy omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

My favorite bottles for this (and my finished kombucha). I love how they remind me of old-fashioned milk bottles!
