Colorful Vegetarian Wild Rice Stir Fry {GF, Dairy-Free, Vegan}
You’re constantly told to “eat your veggies” but the same old side of broccoli gets pretty boring. Instead, switch up your dinner routine with this colorful stir fry!
Mixing up your veggie intake is a key part in your overall health. You might have heard to “eat the rainbow” and it’s true! The more colorful your dishes are the more variety you’re taking in nutrient-wise.
Colorful Vegetarian Wild Rice Stir Fry Recipe
This colorful vegetarian wild rice stir fry dish takes under thirty minutes to make, making it ideal for a busy weeknight dinner and contains a host of awesome vitamins and fueling nutrients. While it is a vegan dish, feel free to top it with your favorite protein to give it a bit of a boost.
The other perk of this dinner recipe is that it also uses a base of wild rice!
Traditional white rice can be tasty, but often it’s overly processed and missing many of the nutrients that once made it whole.
Wildly Organics Wild Rice doesn’t have this issue. It’s brimming with nutrients and flavor. This wild rice is not modified and cannot be cultivated, thus, it retains as much of its health profile as possible during harvest. It’s filling and makes a wonderful base for dishes such as stir fry.
This dinner recipe is simple to whip up and looks much more complex than it actually is. The sauce uses real food ingredients to keep it simple and ensuring there’s lots of flavors but no additives. When it comes to sauces or dressings, they’re just as easy to whip up yourself as they are to buy.
Keep it simple tonight for dinner with this tasty colorful wild rice stir fry!
