CLEAN BROWN RICE BOWL

recipe from BODY BY HEIDI

---

Since we all probably over did it this weekend on burgers + fries, let's kick off this short week with a healthy lunch that I've rotated through my diet the past couple years. I also like to ground up some lean turkey to throw on top. Here we go folks......countdown till 40 for me!
