CILANTRO LIME BROWN RICE

Brown Rice is one of the biggest staples in a bodybuilding diet. It's a great complex carb and our bodies digest it slower, which means it's a great fuel source for our muscles. I made this recipe for my husband so that he wouldn't have to eat plain ol' brown rice. You've gotta try it! It's so good.



Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
Servings: 5

Ingredients
1 cup Brown Rice {I used natural long grain}
2 1/2 cups water
4 tsp fresh lime juice
3 tsp fresh cilantro
Salt, to taste

Directions
1. In a saucepan, bring your water to a boil. I like to add a dash of salt to my water. Once water is boiling, add your rice. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 45 minutes or until all your water is absorbed.

2. Fluff rice with a fork. Add your lime, cilantro, and salt {however much your tastebuds need}. Serve while still hot.
