Want fiber but love white rice? Mix it up. Cook half brown, half white. Your taste buds barely notice. Your colon will send you a thank-you note.
Add beans to your rice. Beans are fiber bombs. Together, they create a complete protein and a fiber fiesta. Your stomach will do the cha-cha.
Or try cauliflower rice. It’s not rice, but it has fiber and zero carbs. It’s the imposter that actually helps. Weird, right?
