Easy and Healthy Lunch Idea

Today I tossed together a really easy lunch, and I thought I’d share it.
Total estimated calories at 250.
Time: approx 10 minutes
Ingrediants:
1 bag Bird’s Eye Steam Fresh Whole Grain Rice
1 bag Bird’s Eye Steam Fresh Mixed Veggies
2-3 tablespoons frozen edamame beans
1 tbsp tamari sauce
2 dashs ground ginger
2 splashs rice wine vinegar (I use sugar free)
Microwave rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking, toss together ginger, vinegar, and soy sauce. Remove rice from microwave and add to sauce. Mix well to coat. While mixing, toss veggies and a small bowl with edamame (add a touch of water to steam) into microwave. When done, add veggies and adamame to rice and toss.
I separated the mixture in half, saving half for my dinner at work tonight.
Included in my calorie count is one round of Baby Bel light cheese, as a snack while I was cooking.
There really is no excuse not to put this together. You could even add a few strips of grilled chicken or tofu, and make a dinner of it!
