Making fried rice at home puts you in charge of the ingredients, so you can use brown rice, lower-sodium soy sauce, and lots of veggies. For the best results, cook the brown rice in advance. Make a big batch if you want to make some grain bowls and other easy meal prep meals this week. Meanwhile, the recipe already includes a bag of frozen peas and carrots, but we recommend adding a bag of stir-fry veggies for more nutrition. Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs and Fruit Lunch: Tuna-Olive Salad Sandwich with Veggies Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken Fried Rice |

What is the healthiest juice? The No. 1 pick, according to dietitians |
Juice is a staple that's delicious to drink at any time of day — whether after a workout, with a snack or added to a tropical smoothie. While fruits or vegetables in drinkable form seem healthy, there's a lot to consider. Orange juice is the most popular fruit juice in the U.S. But go to any supermarket and you'll find many options beyond OJ — everything from acai berry juice to watermelon juice, plus a variety of blends and cocktails. Choosing the right kind of juice can mean the difference between a good source of nutrients or little more than sugar water. This is the #1 healthiest juice, according to dietitians. |
