Both quinoa and brown rice are very healthy grains.

Thomas- My go to, fast recipe is:
1 bag of Seeds of Change
1 large Can of white breast chicken (Costco has an 8pk)
1 bag of steamed veggies (your choice)
Literally heat veggies in microwave, and then toss those in a bowl, start rice in microwave, and while it is cooking, drain and rinse chicken, shread it into veggies.
When rice is finished, add to chicken veggie mix, stir and done.
I do often add extra spices, greek seasoning, sometimes taco seasoning, black pepper and extra garlic powder….
Makes 4 servings, we take this for lunch OFTEN!!
My go-to is I bag microwaved, stir in 1/2 chopped avocado, 2 chopped roma tomatoes and a little Himalayan pink sea salt….absolutely delicious!
My family loves this. I sauté some onion, red, yellow and/or orange peppers with additional garlic. I add this mixture along with rotisserie chicken. Fabulous! Costco sometimes sells rotisserie chicken in a 2 lb bag already cut up!! I divide it at home and freeze. Super easy to make this dish.
