Convenient, precooked brown rice, canned beans, frozen corn and premade pico de gallo help this meal-prep breakfast come together in a flash, without loading on lots of sodium or fat. You can refrigerate for morning meals throughout the week or freeze for longer storage (see thawing/reheating instructions at the end of the recipe).
This filling breakfast is a good balance of macronutrients and provides enough protein and fiber to keep you full all morning. Plus, black beans provide you with prebiotics, which are high-fiber foods that feed the healthy bacteria in your gut.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cumin, salt, pepper and eggs. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add egg mixture to pan; cook until soft-scrambled, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Meanwhile, warm rice according to package directions. In a small bowl, combine beans and corn. Divide rice evenly among 4 bowls or freezer-safe containers, about 1/3 cup per bowl. Arrange 1/3 cup scrambled eggs and 1/3 cup bean mixture in each bowl. Top with 2 tablespoons pico de gallo and 2 tablespoons cheese.
Refrigerate up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave on high for 1 minute or until thoroughly warmed. Or freeze for up to two months; reheat in the microwave on high for 2 1/2–3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
