    Inspiring Healthy Habits One Bite at a Time

    This one-dish meal is jammed with fruit and veggies and can be ready in minutes. It's also a great way to use up leftover brown rice.  Enjoy!

     

    Ingredients

     

    2 Tablespoons sesame oil

    1 Tablespoon olive oil

    1 1/2 cups fresh baby spinach

    3 cups cooked brown rice

    1 cup frozen green peas (tip: rinse in warm water to get off the ice and defrost a bit)

    2 eggs, beaten

    3/4 cups pineapple chunks (I used frozen; fresh would be fine, too)

    3 Tablespoons soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos (availabe at Whole Foods or on Amazon) 

     

    Directions

     

    Preheat a cast iron skillet (or heavy pan). Once pan is warm, add 2 Tablespoons sesame oil and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach and gently stir fry. Once spinach has wilted, add 3 cups cooked brown rice. Once it's warmed through, add in 1 cup frozen peas and mix well. Make a well in the center and add in 2 beaten eggs. Scramble gently. Mix till warm throughout. Add in 3/4 cup pineapple and mix until everything is well heated. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Serve.

     

    If you have kids, consider putting out soy sauce or Bragg's Aminos in a spray bottle so they can add a bit more too. They love spraying and feeling in control of their meal!
