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)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed black rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium and cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the chia seeds and cook for an additional 2 minutes. This helps thicken the pudding further.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.

Step 8

Serve the black rice pudding warm or chilled, topped with berries, fruits, and nuts or seeds if desired.
