Veggie, Tempeh, Rice Bowl

Good Afternoon! Taking a break from my yoga homework.... I made a delicious lunch of leftover Tempeh, Kashi 7 Whole Grain Rice Pilaf and Veggie Mix. I want to incorporate more brown rice into my diet but hate to say that the calorie count adds up rather quickly. You just don't want to eat a ton of rice but it is good for you and I love the Kashi Original 7 Whole Grain Pilaf- one cup of Kashi 7 Whole Grain Pilaf has 220 calories, 4 grams of fat, 7 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein. Today I used:

1/2 cup of Kashi 7 Whole Grain Pilaf (a little goes a long way)
2 oz of leftover Tempeh (from the TLT Tempeh Sandwiches)
Brocoli, Cauliflower and Carrot Veggie Mix

I sauteed the veggies in 1 tsp olive oil and 1 minced fresh garlic clove.

This was a very filling lunch and I was able to incorporate my rice, protein (tempeh) and veggies! I really, really love the Kashi 7 Whole Grain Pilaf. It has a ton of texture to it and you don't have to eat a ton of it to fill up. It is made up of OATS, LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE, RYE, HARD RED WINTER WHEAT, TRITICALE, BUCKWHEAT, BARLEY, SESAME SEEDS. I also like to have it for breakfast with dried fruit and nuts... hmm.. now that is an idea for tomorrow. Yum!

Off to pick up the kids at school.
