Rice without the starchy guilt

If you are like me and feel guilty about eating starches like rice – even though it’s often deemed healthy – try Trader Joe’s brown rice medley instead. It makes you feel fuller with less (unlike with other brown and white rices) because it contains black barley and daikon radish seeds. I have yet to find a better pre-made, all-natural combination anywhere. You get a triple dose of grain in one serving!

I pair it with just about anything – chicken breasts, vegetables – you name it! You may not be able to eliminate white rice from your diet, but you can definitely substitute it with a better, healthier version.
