Savory Breakfasts
Get your morning going with an energizing and savory breakfast packed with everything you need like grains, vegetables, protein and fats. We’ve taken the idea of morning avocado toast and upgraded it to include all that you need to feel satisfied and full for hours.
And, the great thing about rice bowls is that they are simple and customizable for whoever if enjoying them. We’ve topped this bowl with sweet potato, avocado, kale and eggs but you can also add additional vegetables and sliced bacon or breakfast sausage. If you want a vegetarian version, skip the eggs and use tofu.

Why Use Parboiled Rice?
Never tried cooking with parboiled rice? It gets its name from partially boiling the rice within its husk, not because it’s precooked. This helps it to hold onto more of the natural vitamins and minerals found in rice for your morning power bowl! Make sure to find out all of the benefits of cooking with parboiled rice in our guide!
