There are so many wonderful grains out there- but we sometimes forget about rice. Cooking up a batch of grains (like rice) ahead of time for the week is a great way prep meals. I felt inspired by the nutty flavors of trail mix and added some of my favorite ingredients into the rice!

Further Food Commentary:

Love how the heart healthy fats, fiber and protein from the nuts make this a well rounded and balanced vegetarian dish, not to mention an inexpensive way to cook for the week! I also love the addition of the fruit and scallions for a nice savory and sweet mixture not to mention the antioxidant boost! I would even add a bit of coconut milk or almond milk to this and have it for breakfast in a pinch!
