This is a sponsored post for Lotus Foods. I received product for posting; however, the opinions expressed in this post are my own.

I’ve had Lotus Foods’ rice many times before. It’s actually one of my favorites! I love that they have some great blends, like the red and brown rice in the Volcano Rice package. And their forbidden rice is nutty and flavorful and super beautiful!

I learned something new and really cool about them. They use less water to produce their rice than traditional methods. And you know I love environmentally friendly methods. “More Crop Per Drop is how [Lotus Foods] refer to our rice that is grown using the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). SRI is a not a new seed or input, but rather a different way of cultivating rice that enables small-scale farmers to double and triple their yields while using 80-90% less seed, 50% less water, less or no chemical inputs.” Read more about their methods here.

The simplicity of their methods, and how quick it is to make this rice bowl, really inspired me to put this easy quick awesome lunch together. I decided I wanted all of my favorites in one bowl. Yep, avocado, spinach, fried egg, and rice. I could just about live on these alone for the rest of my life!

A 7.4 ounce package of Lotus Foods Organic Volcano Rice is 1 ¼ cup of organic brown and red rice. It’s naturally gluten-free, non-GMO verified, no added salt or fat, shelf stable, and super yummy. And this little package of rice cooks up in the microwave in about 60 seconds. You don’t even have to add any water; it’s already in the package! This is perfect for any lunch, especially if you take your lunch to work with you. Pop it in the microwave, and a minute later you can pair it with some of last night’s leftovers to make a delicious and easy lunch.
