Healthy, brown rice, canned beans, frozen corn and homemade pico de gallo help keep this snack packed and light, without loading up on too much sodium or fat. You can refrigerate for breakfast during the week or freeze for long-term storage (see thawing/heating instructions at the end of the recipe).
This filling breakfast is a good balance of macronutrients and provides enough protein and fiber to keep you full all morning. Additionally, black beans provide you with prebiotics, which are fiber-rich foods that feed the good bacteria in your gut (1).
