Ingredients

• 1 cup short-grain white rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup milk
• 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 banana, sliced
• 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. This will help achieve a creamy texture without becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most of the water has been absorbed.

Step 4

Stir in the milk and continue to cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes creamy and thickened. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the vanilla whey protein powder until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Divide the porridge between two bowls. Top each serving with sliced banana, chopped almonds, and chia seeds.

Step 7

Drizzle honey on top if using, then serve the porridge warm for a comforting and energizing breakfast.
