Good morning! I’m so thankful Colleen let me join you today on her healthy living blog! I’m Heather and I blog at My Life Well Loved, a lifestyle blog. I’m also super obsessed with eating healthy and making wise choices. Just to give you a little background on me: I’m married to my college sweetheart, Eric and we celebrated our 5 year anniversary in New Zealand at the end of last year! I’m a Christian and my passions include Pure Barre, clean eating (meaning non-processed foods), social media, workout swag and helping others to love their lives well.
In an effort to eat healthy and enjoy lots of different recipes, I am CONSTANTLY scouring Pinterest for new Clean Eating Recipes. Even though I think it’s fairly simple to make main dish Clean Eating dishes, it’s difficult to me to find as many side dishes that I can get excited about.
If you’re looking for a tantalizing treat for your taste buds but want to keep it healthy, give this Cilantro Lime Rice a whirl. It tastes like a knock off Chipotle rice, and who doesn’t love that?! I could eat this by itself as a meal, but it also makes a great side to a multitude of dishes including these amazing White Chicken Enchiladas.

- 1 tsp salt or to taste

I’d love to hear what you think about this recipe in the comments below and please come visit me at My Life Well Loved!

Well, this is definitely a twist to rice for me. We enjoy using rice as a side dish so I’m always looking for new ways to serve it to keep it interesting. This is different! Thank you!!
