Protein-Packed Rice, Quinoa & Lentil Mix

A simple, balanced base that beats plain rice — higher in protein, richer in fibre, and packed with slow-release carbs. Perfect for batch-cooking and adding to bowls, curries, or stir-fries through the week.

Really liked this, a bit more interesting than plain rice. Will probably use less liquid next time as was a little stodgy, but still loved it

Love hearing that 😊 And yes, liquid can be adjusted to taste, especially depending on the rice and pot used.

Hi Debra! The recipe is set for 4 portions, but you can adjust the servings in the recipe card. And if you have leftovers, you can freeze them, super handy for busy days :)
