Easy, Healthy 5 Minute Meal!

I love the Target Simply Balanced main dishes!

They're easy to make healthy by addding some vegetables and whole grains.
  • *1 yellow bell pepper
    • Not pictured because I ate it before I took the picture ;-)
    • I sauted it for 5 mintes in a little grape seed oil (or other favorite oil and salt)
  • 1 handful edamame
    • I used freeze-dried because I had it on hand. I would change it to frozen edamame next time
  • 1 package Uncle Ben's 90 second rice
    • I recommend Whole Grain Brown Rice
  • 1 package SImply Balanced Chicken Tikka Masala

For "dessert" I ate a sliced pear. Delicous, healthy, quick lunch!

Kid-friendly too. Don't think your kids will eat yellow bell peppers and chicken tikka masala? Try it anyway! It's great to expose kids to new foods and it's the only way to combat picky eating. You might be surprised with the foods they'll eat.

It they don't like it, don't force it. It's ok if they try a bite and spit it out, or just eat the rice. Having it on their plate is a great start, and when it's not forced, they'll be more likely to try it again with an open mind in the future!
