Feed me, now you crazy wench.
We’ve all been there, right? Not someone calling you a wench, but your stomach screaming for attention!
Running in the door after traveling or work feeling so ravenous you’d happily dive head first in to a jar of peanut butter because there is no preparation required.
Since I am diligently attempting in every way possible to follow the sage advice of my sports dietitian and increase my protein, meal times have started to take a lot more planning and thought. I want protein, but I also want tons of veggies and some days my brain just needs a break!
I was psyched one evening to realize that everything in my pantry could come together within 10 minutes for an awesomely delicious dinner thanks to a coupon I received from Success® Rice.
I love proving that healthy eating can be fast and can in fact use some packaged ingredients. Why? Because I need to have staples in the house that make it easy to toss something together when I’ve been traveling or finished off all the leftovers from a weekend of meal prep.
Tuna and Avocado Brown Rice Bowl
Tuna and Avocado Brown Rice Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 can tuna packed in water
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 cups green beans
- 2 cups spinach
- Garlic salt
- Dulse
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- Optional: orange slices or fried egg
Instructions
- Cook Success® Whole-Grain Brown Rice {woot gluten-free!}-- I chose to do it in the microwave and it absolutely came out perfect with a great chewy texture and nut-like flavor, plus the portion was spot on so I won’t have random left over rice.
- Open can of tuna
- Open can of green beans
- Find a large bowl….
- I think you’ve got the last step figured out
Optional – I decided to up the individual protein by adding a fried egg to both servings. It gives some additional flavor which makes you feel like you are having healthy fried rice!
