    These Healthy + Easy Vegan Lunch Ideas | RICE are perfect healthy recipes that you can meal prep in advance so you always have healthy options ready to go! 

    In this video I am showing you how you can meal prep a big batch of rice and easily prepare three different meal options all flavored differently so that you can save time and never get bored!

    The curry flavored recipes are always my favorite but I am also showing you a spicy option and a cleaner more simple and fresh option! I think you are really going to love these healthy rice lunches or dinners 😉 and if you make any of them let me know what you think I love to hear from you!

    —-HEALTHY MUSHROOM BROCCOLI PEPPER RICE—-

    • ½ cup cooked brown or white rice
    • ⅓ cup mushrooms chopped
    • ⅓ cup broccoli chopped
    • ¼ cup red onion chopped
    • ¼ - ½ cup chopped peppers (I like to use either bell pepper or Anaheim and hot banana peppers for a spicy version)

    SPICES:

    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • pinch black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon chili powder
    • ½ teaspoon Southwest chipotle seasoning

    OPTIONAL: if this is too dry for you feel free to add a squeeze of lemon for an oil free version, dash of tamari (will increase sodium though) or a drizzle of olive oil but be sure to mix that in last because you don’t want to heat the oil as it is unstable at high temperatures.

    DIRECTIONS:

    1. cook rice, chop veggies, add rice + veggies + spice to a skillet and sauté until everything is well combined and fragrant.
