Brown Rice with Vegetables is a great lunch option that can be quickly meal prepped with Minute® Ready to Serve Brown Rice, a mixture of frozen vegetables, loads of garlic and a simple fresh parsley garnish.

New Year has kicked off and like myself, many have goals that involve being healthier. From taking better care of your body with more gym time and less sugary foods to eating less fast food and creating meal plans, there are many ways to treat our bodies better this year. A big goal for me is avoiding eating out (especially fast food) and creating meals at home that make me feel good. To really stay on track though, I know the meals I create at home need to be really quick, really uncomplicated but still have tons of flavor. 

Brown Rice with Vegetables

Brown Rice with Vegetables has a really nice garlic flavor that complements the freshness of the vegetables and the nuttiness of the brown rice. It’s a great side dish any night of the week that is uncomplicated and flavorful or can easily be made for meal prep. A scrambled egg mixed in or a fried egg on top is also recommended and gives this dish a “fried rice” sort of feel.
