Hi .. Is there recipes without rice for lunch box?
You have more than 100 breakfast recipes. You can take sandwiches, toast, millets anything you like for lunch box. You can substitute brown rice or millets or quinoa in place of rice. You can also check out the label named lunch box recipes.
You always go for healthy food and since you have listed a lot of recipes with basmati rice, I wanted to ask. Is basmati rice a healthy choice?
Though I have not updated in this post, you find many lunch recipes with millets, couscous, quinoa and other food grains. Being an Indian, I love rice but do not have it everyday. I alternate between various grains. Basmati rice (organic) in not unhealthy when eaten in moderation. You can substitute brown rice or quinoa in place of basmati rice or white rice. You get brown basmati rice also which is more healthier than polished ones.
You can check my lunch box recipes label where you find dishes with different food grains.
