How to Make a Healthy Dinner with Seeds of Change

Eating healthier has become a priority in my lifestyle in the last few months. I should clarify, Curtis and I have generally ate healthy, but after meeting with a dietician, I’ve learned my portion sizes were way off in some aspects. When I now go out to eat, I look at the menu differently or we share plates. But at home, during the work week, I want an easier option for a balanced meal. In my cupboard, besides canned beans and a selection of tea the size of a store’s, I have Seeds of Change rice and grain packets on hand.

So after sitting down with Jessica, my dietitian, we came up with a weekly meal plan. Being a huge rice lover, I could eat a bowl with a spoon no problem. But now I concentrate on my portion sizes and full rounded meals. I’m also all about quick and easy healthy meals. This is where my stock of Seeds of Change comes in.

I love that Seeds of Change® is a certified organic rice and ancient grain brand that you can heat up in the microwave or on the stovetop in mere minutes. During the work week, I want to come home from the gym and whip up a healthy meal in minutes. Who wants to wait to cook grains for 40 minutes?! You just rip the package an inch, stick it in the microwave for 90 seconds and voila, rice! 90 seconds!

I think you will also be impressed by the social initiatives by Seeds of Change®. They recently launched a Seeds of Change® Grant Program in Canada. It will contribute 1% of sales to community gardens across the country. How cool is that?! If you live in Vancouver, you see these community gardens popping up everywhere and newer apartment buildings are also putting them into their communal areas.

• Seeds of Change® contributes 1% of sales toward sustainable farming agriculture worldwide.
• In Canada, Seeds of Change® works with local partner Evergreen. They identify 12 community gardens. These are from coast to coast who are in need of grant money. This money goes towards getting their garden started and keep them going all season long.
• With one garden in every province, Seeds of Change® is helping Canadians get access to local, organic food from coast to coast.
• The mission of Seeds of Change® is to help Canadians get access to local, organic food.
  • Whether that be through offering a trustworthy, organic product to time-strapped Canadians who want to eat consciously with ease. Or by helping to build and sustain community gardens across the country
  • The existence of a brand like Seeds of Change® shows us that great tasting and easy to prepare food can be good for our bodies, and for the world.
