Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla, plant-based)
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Berries or fruits of choice
- 0.25 cup Nuts or seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed black rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 30 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Add the coconut milk, almond milk, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the pot with the cooked rice. Stir well to combine.
Increase the heat to medium and cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Stir in the chia seeds and cook for an additional 2 minutes. This helps thicken the pudding further.
Remove the pot from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.
Serve the black rice pudding warm or chilled, topped with berries, fruits, and nuts or seeds if desired.
