Convenient pre-cooked brown rice, canned beans, frozen corn, and pre-made pico de gallo ensure this meal-prep breakfast comes together in a snap without consuming a lot of sodium or fat. You can store the morning meals in the refrigerator throughout the week or freeze them for longer storage (see thawing/reheating instructions at the end of the recipe).
This filling breakfast offers a good balance of macronutrients and provides enough protein and fiber to keep you full throughout the morning. In addition, black beans provide you with prebiotics, which are fiber-rich foods that feed the healthy bacteria in your gut (1).
