The texture and chew of the brown rice and quinoa is perfect for our Hawaiian Rice + Quinoa Bowls. The rice and quinoa is light and fluffy, and the combination of the two grains is amazing. Plus, Minute Ready to Serve Rice + Quinoa is the only fully prepared product of this type to combine the two.

One of my favorite ways to eat rice and grains is with a sweet and sour flavor combination. Use fresh or canned chopped pineapple for that classic Hawaiian flavor.

Tip: Add a little of the pineapple juice, too.

In addition to pineapple, we used fresh chopped sweet bell peppers and tender pre-cooked chicken in our quinoa bowls. Hawaiian Rice + Quinoa Bowls are yummy with cooked pork tenderloin chunks, or with no meat at all for a veggie lover's meal.

To get the sweet and sour, stir in your favorite Asian style chili sauce and a little bit of teriyaki or soy sauce. The chili sauce, soy sauce and pineapple juice combine with the pineapple for that island flavor I love.

For extra flavor and color, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro or green onions. Fresh and light, this is a tasty garnish for Sweet + Sour Hawaiian Rice + Quinoa Bowls.

This is a wholesome and filling lunch with two types of whole grains, sweet pineapple, fresh vegetables and lean protein. And it tastes amazing.
