Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 3 cups Water
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Chopped unsalted almonds
• 2 tablespoons Pure honey
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents clumping.

Step 2

In a medium pot, combine the rinsed brown rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Increase the heat to medium and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure the porridge becomes creamy.

Step 5

Add the chia seeds while stirring to help thicken and enrich the porridge with plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.

Step 6

Once the desired creaminess is achieved, remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pure honey until well combined.

Step 7

Scoop the porridge into serving bowls and top each portion with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of chopped unsalted almonds for added crunch and heart-healthy fats.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy a nourishing and heart-healthy breakfast!
