In recent times I have changed from rice to veggie rice. The one I buy most often is the carrot, cauli and broccoli mix. It's rated 5 health stars on the packet, adds a pop of colour to my dishes and only takes about 3 minutes or so in the microwave. Add to that I've changed from mostly meat dishes to substituting pulses. today for instance I had chick pea and coconut dahl curry with veggie rice, both filling and nutritious.
