long-grain rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa adds protein and fiber, while white rice is a budget-friendly option.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while canola is less expensive.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: serrano pepper

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Serrano adds heat; bell pepper is milder and more economical.

Place lots of spinach in a blender.

Add cilantro and chicken broth to the blender.

Blend the spinach mixture really well.

Add milk (whole milk or coconut milk) to the blender.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste and blend one more time.

Set the spinach mixture aside.

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat.

Add white rice to the pot and stir for a few minutes until it starts turning golden brown.

Slowly and carefully add the spinach mixture to the pot with the rice.

Optionally, add a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder.

Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated.

Remove the pot from heat and fluff the rice with a fork.

Serve the arroz verde.
