Whole Grain Harmony
Boy do I love rice pilaf – so buttery and loaded with carbs…however, it just doesn’t sit on my body like it used to (i.e. turns into uncomfortable pockets of fat). Thankfully, Kashi (of course, always to the rescue) has made a 7 Whole Grain and Sesame Pilaf to help curb rice cravings. Unlike the old school recipe, these individually sealed pouches of rice have zero cholesterol, sodium or sugar.
1/2 cup cooked pilaf contains: 170 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 160 mg of potassium, 33 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. With about 12 servings per box, Kashi uses minimally processed raw whole oats, brown rice, rye hard red winter wheat, triticale, buckwheat, barley and sesame seeds. Even better, one serving provides a recommended day’s worth of whole grains.
Now, if Kashi could just turn my love for raw cookie dough into something healthy…
