5 Iron Rich Buddha Bowls for Boosting Energy and Vitality


Iron is essential for energy and overall health, and these Buddha bowls are packed with iron-rich ingredients like leafy greens, legumes, lean proteins, and seeds. Here are five nourishing and delicious options for your dinner table.

Protein: Shredded chicken and cooked lentils

Veggies: Sautéed spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli

Toppings: Pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast

Dressing: Lemon-tahini dressing


Why It Works:

Veggies: Sautéed bok choy, shredded carrots, and steamed edamame

Toppings: Sesame seeds and kimchi
