What We Tried at Life Bowls New Haven

SOUTHWEST BUDDHA BOWL 

Our go-to pick was the Southwest Buddha Bowl, and it did not disappoint. Built on a base of quinoa, spinach, and kale, the bowl was topped with creamy avocado, black bean & corn salsa, and crunchy tortilla strips. The chipotle-lime dressing added a bold kick without overpowering the freshness of the ingredients. It was perfectly balanced and very filling.

More Favorites from the Menu

TROPICAL ACAI BOWL
A refreshing blend of acai, granola, banana, mango, pineapple, and coconut flakes. This was a hit—perfect for a light breakfast or a midday boost.

SPICY THAI BOWL
If you’re in the mood for a little heat, this is your bowl. Featuring brown rice, edamame, red cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, and a tangy Thai peanut sauce—it hits all the right notes.
