Sweet and Savory Grain Bowl (V/GF)

If you make the rice ahead of time, this meal only takes a couple minutes to throw together! You can switch up the grain and the veggies, although, I highly recommend this mix! I like to use brown rice because it has more overall nutrition than white rice. The veggies I use are so flavorful and complimentary to each other and they add a lot of great texture!
