Hemp Quinoa Buddha Bowl with Hemp Seed Oil & Hempesan

A bowl of colour, balance, and pure nourishment

There’s something quietly meditative about assembling a Buddha bowl.
Each ingredient brings its own character—earthy, tangy, creamy, or fresh—yet together they create perfect harmony.
This Hemp Quinoa Buddha Bowl is more than a recipe; it’s a celebration of balance: complete plant protein from quinoa, healthy fats from avocado and hemp, probiotics from kimchi, and antioxidants from beetroot and sun-dried tomatoes.

It’s a bowl that proves food can be both comfort and function—designed to nourish the body, support digestion, and deliver lasting energy.

Why We Love It

This recipe shows how simple, real food can become deeply functional. Every element contributes something vital:

• Quinoa – a complete plant protein containing all nine essential amino acids.
• Hemp Seed Oil – one of nature’s best sources of omega-3 and omega-6 in perfect balance.
• Hempesan – rich in protein, magnesium, and natural B-vitamins for energy and recovery.
• Kimchi – a probiotic food that supports gut health and immunity.
• Avocado – packed with monounsaturated fats for heart and brain support.
• Sun-dried tomatoes – concentrated antioxidants and minerals.
• Pink hummus (with beetroot) – adds fibre, folate, and vibrant colour.

The result is a bowl that delivers steady energy, supports gut microbiota, helps lower inflammation, and provides the kind of glow that no supplement can replicate.

Nutritional Highlights

Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and fully plant-based, this bowl feels indulgent while staying light and balanced.

Recipe: Hemp Quinoa Buddha Bowl

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 1 cup cooked quinoa (white, red, or tricolour)
• 3 tbsp pink hummus (with beetroot or store-bought)
• ½ cup red kimchi (naturally fermented)
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 4–6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• A handful of fresh coriander leaves
• 1–2 tbsp Sun & Seed Hemp Seed Oil
• 2 tbsp Hempesan (vegan hemp-based parmesan)
• Optional: lemon wedge, black sesame, sea salt

Method

1. Base: Spoon quinoa into each bowl—light, fluffy, and rich in protein.
2. Add colour: Arrange pink hummus, kimchi, avocado, and sun-dried tomatoes in sections.
3. Top with freshness: Scatter coriander generously for a herbal lift.
4. Dress: Drizzle with Hemp Seed Oil for a silky, grassy richness.
5. Finish: Sprinkle Hempesan liberally for savoury depth and texture.

Serve immediately, or pack for lunch; it travels well and stays fresh for hours.

The Nutritional Harmony

This bowl demonstrates what nutritionists call synergistic eating—ingredients that enhance each other’s benefits.

• Fats from hemp and avocado help absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
• Fermented kimchi provides probiotics; fibre from quinoa and hummus feeds them.
• Quinoa and hemp combine to deliver all essential amino acids.
• Antioxidants from beetroot, coriander, and tomatoes help reduce oxidative stress.

It’s not just a bowl; it’s a daily formula for balance and vitality.

Why It’s Good for You

Regularly enjoying meals like this can:

• Support gut health and digestion.
• Improve skin, hair, and nails through omega-3 and vitamin E.
• Stabilise blood sugar and energy levels.
• Strengthen immunity with zinc and magnesium.
• Reduce inflammation naturally through plant antioxidants.

This is food that works with your body—simple, delicious, and restorative.

A Note from the Kitchen

We love finishing this bowl with a final drizzle of Sun & Seed Hemp Seed Oil—its fresh green aroma ties every element together—and a generous sprinkle of Hempesan for that savoury, plant-based “parmesan” crunch.

Each bite reminds you that eating well doesn’t mean restriction; it means connection—to nature, to nourishment, to balance.

Simple. Functional. Beautiful.
