Avocado Rice Bowl (Easy + Customizable Lunch)
This avocado rice bowl is a quick and easy lunch made with simple ingredients like rice, avocado, and soy sauce. It’s endlessly customizable with protein, veggies, and sauces — perfect for a healthy meal in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked long grain brown rice more if desired
- 1 avocado cubed
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce sub reduced sodium or coconut aminos for gluten-free
Instructions
- Prep Rice: Cook brown rice according to package instructions (Instant Pot Brown Jasmine Rice Recipe). Place your desired amount of brown rice in a bowl (I generally use 1 cup or so).
- Prep Avocado: Cube 1 avocado and place on top of the brown rice.
- Sauce + Pepper: Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos (add more, if desired). Enjoy!
- Protein Add-In: See Notes for additional protein options.
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 set them on the counter. When they are JUST starting to feel a tiny bit soft (like you can barely make any sort of imprint with your finger) I move them to the crisper in the fridge and store them there. They stay perfectly ripe for nearly a week!
- Other topping ideas: red pepper flakes, Siracha, Frank's Red Hot, other hot sauces or some veggies like roasted broccolini
- Protein Additions: fried egg, poached egg, pan fried shrimp, grilled chicken cutlets, edamame
