Protein Rice

Protein Rice made with home made bone broth and white rice has 12 g of protein and 37 grams of carbohydrate - a perfect pre-workout snack. BOUNS gut health tip, let the rice cool and reheat before eating. This helps to create resistant starch - AKA gut-healing goodness. Don’t add any butter or ghee in the cooking process because it will slow your digestion before a workout. BUT if you have left overs and want to enjoy as a meal away from a workout, flavor away with your favorite fat!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of white rice or jasmine rice

  • 1 cup of home made bone broth or store bought (follow water amount on package of rice and sub bone broth)

Instructions

  1. Follow cooking instructions on the back of the rice package subbing bone broth for water

  2. Store in the fridge and enjoy!

Notes

  • Bone Broth Brands: Kettle & Fire, Bonafide

  • All nutrition information was calculated using Cronometer

  • Before a workout don’t add any fat to the rice because this will slow digestion

  • Make multiple servings and store in the fridge for your weekly workouts
