What are healthy flavors to add to meals?

[Justin Evans]

I've cooked brown rice as my staple food for meal prep every week. I usually put uncooked brócoli and bell peppers in it. However, I used to use shredded cheese but now I am cutting it off. Does anyone know any good alternative spices or something that is healthy and would add some flavor to my meal prep dish? Thanks a ton

As disgustingly as it may sound, nutritional yeast is a really tasty substitute for parmesan.  It is also a complete source of protein.

I pop a little garlic and ginger in my rice ? (paste form)

Since I have seen Leo's soup recipe, I put sweet bay leaf & lemon juice in everything ^^

Here are some tasty seasonings and stuff like that to spice up your meals:

• Turmeric
• Seasalt (not too much)
• Black pepper
• Garlic
• Onion
• Lemon juice (already mentioned)
• Cayenne pepper
• Cardemom
• Curry powder
• Paprika powder
• Fresh or dried herbs like oregano, thime, parsley, sage, rosemary

Yummy!

 

Lately I started mixing brown rice with lentils, to add a good source of plant-based protein. You can also stir-fry an egg and mix it through the rice.

(Vegan) pesto is also very tasty to mix through rice!

I think turmeric, garlic and ginger can be the best option.
