Minute® Ready-to-Serve Rice Review & Giveaway (Now Closed)

 

“Whether you’re a working professional or a stay at home mom, a busy day focused on meetings, errands, and kids can keep you from eating a nutritious lunch. That’s where Minute Rice comes in. Minute® Ready-to-Serve Rice is ready in just 60 seconds and comes in individual single-serve cups, making portion control simple. Throw them in your purse or keep in your desk drawer at work!

 

When the day finally calms down, making a well-rounded dinner might seem like too much work. Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice is an easy and hearty meal addition that’s ready in no time at all.”

I was graciously provided the opportunity, courtesy of Minute, to try out their Ready-to-Serve rice & pass my experience on to you. I have a hard time with portion control. It’s probably my biggest obstacle in losing the remainder of the baby weight I packed on with my first son.  If there are leftovers I tend to eat them, for that reason I love that Minute® Ready-to-Serve Rice comes in individual servings.  Of course in a house with 3 kids who all have varying tastes individual servings make things easier as well. With the individual servings I find that I don’t waste nearly as much as I used to because everyone can get what they want. On top of all this, as you might have guessed, my house is quite busy at meal time. Thankfully Minute® Ready-to-Serve Rice only takes 60 seconds & it’s done! It’s great to keep a few in the cupboard for those days we’re running low on time.

 

I’m personally a huge fan of Jasmine rice so I was really excited to see that Minute® Ready-to-Serve Rice now comes in Jasmine as well as a large variety of flavors.

 

Ready to Serve is Available in 10 Varieties
