Coconut rice is a recipe that began as an experiment and has become a favorite side dish of my entire family.

I always say, healthy eating needs to be attainable, sustainable, and fun. In my mind this easy recipe nails all 3 of those aspects. Unsweetened coconut is an easy ingredient to add to your pantry (you can keep it even longer in the freezer). Coconut is very flavorful so you only need a small amount to give a recipe a noticeable coconut aroma and taste.

Light and fluffy, quick coconut rice couldn't be easier. Only 3 ingredients! Aromatic with subtly sweet coconut flavorful.

After the first meal with coconut rice my kids started to ask for it specifically when they see the rice cooker come out. I am happy to oblige because it feels great to make a healthy meal I know the kids will eat without coaxing - well, at least they will eat a significant part of the meal.

Give this simple healthy side dish a try then let me know if your family loves it as much as we do!
