Avocado + Brown Rice Bowls
I started eating avocado and brown rice so many years ago and it is just one of those easy throw-together recipes (hard to even call it a “recipe”) that never seems to get old for me! So I thought it deserved a place on the blog 🙂 Try it out and keep it simple or take some of the protein suggestions! Just know it’s delicious and my kids love it too!
Protein Additions
Here are some easy add-on suggestions:
- Fried Egg
- Poached Egg
- Sautéed or Grilled Shrimp
- Grilled Chicken
- Edamame + Roasted Broccoli
Rice Options
If I have a choice I use this brown rice, but do your thing and use whatever rice you like best or just whatever you have on hand!

Notes
- Brown rice: I generally use this brown rice, but of course any type of rice will work!
- Avocado storage tip: I go through a lot of avocados! I usually buy them under-ripe and then when they are JUST starting to feel a tiny bit soft (like you can barley make any sort of imprint with your finger) I move them to the crisper in the fridge and store them there. They stay ripe for nearly a week!
- Other topping ideas: red pepper flakes, Siracha, Frank’s Red Hot, other hot sauces
- Protein Additions: fried egg, poached egg, sautéed shrimp, chicken, edamame, roasted broccoli
