Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of uncooked short-grain white rice 240g
  • 4 cups of almond milk 960 ml
  • 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder approx. 60g
  • ¼ cup of honey 60 ml
  • 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract 5 ml
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • ½ cup of Greek yogurt 120g
  • ¼ cup of chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for garnish (30g)
  • Cinnamon to sprinkle

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized pot, combine the uncooked rice and 3 cups of almond milk. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until the rice is almost cooked.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder and the remaining cup of almond milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the protein mixture into the pot with the rice.
  5. Add honey, vanilla extract, and salt into the pot, stirring everything together.
  6. Let the mixture simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the pudding thickens and the rice is fully cooked.
  7. Once cooked, remove from heat and fold in the Greek yogurt for that extra creaminess and protein kick.
  8. Let the High Protein Rice Pudding cool for a bit before serving.

Notes

Ensure to stir the rice frequently to avoid sticking to the pot.
For an extra protein boost, consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds.
