"The Struggle is Real" Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cooked rice (brown or black is the best!)
- 1/4 cup milk (almond, soy, organic cow, etc.)
- 1/4 cup egg whites or one egg
- 1/8 tsp ghee, coconut oil or grass-fed butter
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon, ginger, cardamom
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbl raisins or Goji berries
- Drizzle of honey, date syrup or brown sugar; go easy if your milk is sweetened
Instructions
-
Combine all of the ingredients in a microwave-safe non-plastic bowl (plastic leeches chemicals into the food when cooking).
-
Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. If you prefer the stove, bring the ingredients to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
-
Stir.
-
If still runny, add another minute. Continue doing so until the eggs are cooked.
-
Enjoy!
