Minute® Ready to Serve Rice Makes Packing Lunch Easy!

August 23, 2015 By Ashley 8 Comments

Tracking PixelI am thrilled to be working with Minute® Ready to Serve Rice to bring you ideas to make back to school easier! Read on and see what lunchbox ideas I came up with!

Back to School season can be insane. Once again we are back on a stricter schedule and getting into the groove can take a few weeks. One of those things I need to start doing again is packing lunches. And I hear my husband cheering in the background. Living on a budget means not buying school lunches. It saves a lot of money but we can run into the issue of having the same old PB&J all week.

No one wants a boring lunch. 

That is why the family and I are enjoying using Minute® Ready to Serve Rice. It makes packing lunch easy, and as the packer all I can say is thank you!

 

Minute® Ready to Serve Rice

Minute® Ready to Serve Rice provides easy portion control since it comes packaged in two individual single-serve cups. I can use one for each kid and the hubs, well he likes two. 

For my husband's busy work he needs something quick but filling and healthy! I dubbed his the southern Minute® Ready to Serve Rice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Package of Minute® Ready to Serve Rice of your choice
  • 1/2 Cup of Kidney Beans (I used canned for less prep time)
  • 1/2 Cup of Shredded Chicken
  • 2 Tbsp of BBQ Sauce (or more depending on your tastes)

Combine all and heat for 1 minute in the microwave then enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Package of Minute® Ready to Serve Rice of your choice
  • 1/2 Cup of shelled edamame seasoned with a little garlic powder (Precook the edamame if they are frozen. )
  • 1 Tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 Tsp of Chia Seeds

Combine all the ingredients and heat at home sending them to school with it in a insulated container. Or if your school/teacher is willing to heat up for them there you can use whatever container is easiest for them.

Add a little variety and sub out ingredients for bacon, cheese, beans, hot dogs, chia seeds, avocado, corn, or pineapple!

Rice is a diverse base for any meal, making combos fun and tasty! The best part is it is easy to make ahead of time and I know they are getting the energy they need from a filling tasty lunch!
