Buy Walking VideosBroccoli Rice
Mike makes this dinner for me when I’m low on Points. It’s only 3 Points a serving (about 150 calories) and is really filling. Considering that it’s only rice and broccoli with some spices, it’s amazing how tasting it is. Here is his recipe:
Broccoli Rice:
- 1/2 cup Brown Rice
- 1/2 cup Frozen Broccoli
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 tsp Curry Powder
These are the ingredients for one serving. It’s usually much easier to make five servings and put them in the fridge or freezer for several meals. Mike puts the rice and broccoli in the rice cooker and then adds the spices after the rice is fully cooked.
The rice cooker is voodoo to me, but I love it. Mike is able to make healthy rice for me using no oil. He fought for the rice cooker when we first bought it, but if it were to break, I would now let him buy whichever one he wanted at whatever expense. I have been the beneficiary of so many yummy, healthy meals because of that device. Broccoli Rice is merely one of them.

Weight Watcher’s question regarding the rice recipe – what is the quanity of the serving? (ie: 1 cup or more?)
July 13th, 2007 at 6:42 am
It’s about a cup.
We usually measure out three servings of rice (according to the package) and three servings of broccoli (1.5 cups).
After the rice cooker does its magic, we divide them equally between three bowls and only count the points for the rice since the broccoli is free.

What is Garam Masala?

Garam Masala is a spice, usually used in Indian cooking. I bought the McCormick brand at my local grocery store, but you can also find it at Amazon here:
