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 (1).

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 1/2 cup bean mixture in each bowl. Top with 2 tbsp pico de gallo and hot sauce, if desired.
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.
