2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I like to use a mix of frozen and fresh veggies for added convenience and flavor.
The short-grain brown rice is essential for the right texture, and I also recommend using a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
If you’re looking for a protein boost, add some chopped nuts or seeds to the mix!
