Finding ways to fit functional mushrooms into your everyday routine is so much more than just adding it to your morning coffee and tea! Our mushroom powders add depth of flavor and umami to recipes and pack a powerful functional punch. One of the recipes we have in our weekly rotation is our Bliss Bowl. Packed with veggies and greens, these buddha bowls hit the spot and leave you feeling satiated and satisfied. We love to switch up the sauces we serve them with every week. Check out our three favorites on our current rotation!

Bliss Bowl:

1 ¼ cups short-grain rice, rinsed
1 ½ cups trimmed and roughly chopped snap peas
1 ½ cups organic shelled edamame
1 ½ cups sliced broccoli florets
1 to 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
4 cups chopped red cabbage
2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted and thinly sliced into long strips

Optional Garnishes:

1 cucumber, diced finely
Thinly sliced green
Lime wedges

Bring a large pot of water to boil (ideally about 4 quarts water). Once the water is boiling, add the rice and continue boiling for 25 minutes. Add the edamame and cook for 3 more minutes (it’s ok if the water doesn’t reach a rapid boil again). Then add the snap peas and cook for 2 more minutes.
Drain well and return the rice and veggies to the pot. Season to taste with 1 to 2 tablespoons of tamari and stir to combine.
Divide avocado into bowls. Lightly drizzle homemade sauce over the avocado, sprinkle with sea salt and optional garnishes and serve immediately.
