Healing Turmeric Buddha Bowl

Turmeric is known for its amazing anti-inflammatory benefits, and when it’s paired with a bowl full of other healing foods it’s the ultimate feel-good ingredient if your digestive tract needs a little TLC. Enjoy this warming and healthy meal anytime, but I especially like to prepare it if I’ve recently worked my digestive system a bit too hard with too much fried or processed food.

Tea-infused grain might seem like a funny idea, but I love throwing a tea bag into my rice, quinoa or oats when I cook them. The subtle scent and flavor adds interest to an otherwise-bland ingredient and cuts down on the amount of salt that I use to season rice and quinoa.
