Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams medium-grain rice
- 500 ml low-fat milk
- 250 ml water
- 60 grams vanilla protein powder
- 250 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 100 grams fresh or dried fruit (optional, for topping)
- 30 grams slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the rinsed rice to the simmering milk mixture along with a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder and unsweetened almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Once the rice has cooked, add the protein mixture, honey or agave syrup, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, uncovered, until the rice is creamy and has absorbed the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the Milchreis cool slightly. The mixture will thicken as it stands.
Serve the high-protein Milchreis warm, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder.
Add your choice of fresh or dried fruit and slivered almonds as optional toppings for added flavor and texture.
