This week, Pinterest released The Pinterest 100, a list which calls out the platform’s biggest trend predictions for 2017. We weren’t surprised to see so-called “buddha bowls” on the list, as this form of all-in-one meal has been at the top of our list throughout 2016. We’re happy to take these nutritious, easy to make bowls with us into the new year, even if between now and then we’ll be subsisting on a steady diet of cookies, champagne and this brownie-filled hot chocolate. (Sometimes, all at once.) Here, 7 buddha bowl recipes that will get your health back on track in 2017.
