Buddha bowls are one of my favourite ways to make food feel supportive rather than overwhelming 🥗
For many neurodivergent people, cooking can be draining, too many steps, decisions, textures, or expectations. Buddha bowls offer a gentler approach: simple components, flexible combinations, and no “right” way to do it. A grain, some protein, a few veggies, and something comforting on top is more than enough.
They work beautifully for low-energy days, sensory needs, and chronic illness pacing too. You can batch-cook parts, use frozen or pre-prepped foods, eat the same bowl for days, or change it slightly depending on what your body can handle. Nourishment without pressure.
