Recipe: Easy Banza Rice Bowls With Veggies & Tempeh

You’ll know from my last recipe post that I’m a big fan of Banza products, so when they released their new rice, I was so excited to start cooking with it. Bowls similar to this (grain, veggie, protein) are a huge staple in my diet, and I love that this rice is made from chickpeas for lots of added protein.

This combo of veggies has been a staple lately, but I also love:

  • Asparagus and san marzano tomatoes

  • Heirloom tomatoes and [vegan!] feta with balsamic
