This $4 Trader Joe's Product Will Make the Lives of Busy Moms 43,525 Times Easier

As much as we always aspire to have a home-cooked meal on the dinner table, the reality is that some weekends can't be spent meal prepping a week's worth of food for your whole squad. But despite our time crunch, one thing is certain: feeding our kiddos healthy food is always top of mind. Enter Trader Joe's Organic Brown Rice, a freezer-safe option for parents on the go that is a hard and fast answer to your prayers.

This superpopular organic product can be found in the frozen food section of Trader Joe's, and there are a few reasons it's been flying off the shelves into busy moms' carts. For one, it completely cooks in the microwave in three minutes flat. Who can beat that time frame? And two: it pretty much goes with anything. As the star of your go-to beans and rice dish? Sure. Buddha bowl? Why not? As a side to a plate of chicken and veggies? Pile it on. The combinations are seriously endless with this starchy staple that comes in three 10-ounce pounces.

And another added bonus: this variety of brown rice actually isn't bad for you. It only has about 230 calories per serving, is loaded with fiber, and even contains five grams of protein. Not bad for four bucks, right?
