Ingredients

• 150 grams short-grain rice
• 700 milliliters milk
• 40 grams vanilla protein powder
• 100 milliliters water
• 1 whole vanilla bean
• 50 grams sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the milk and water. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the seeds into the milk mixture, and add the pod as well.

Step 3

Bring the milk mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, stir in the rice and a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid slightly ajar, and let the rice cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the milk is absorbed. If it becomes too thick, add a little more milk.

Step 5

Remove the vanilla pod from the saucepan. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.

Step 6

In a small bowl, blend the vanilla protein powder with a little water to make a smooth paste, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 7

Fold the protein paste into the rice mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 8

Let the mixture cool slightly, then gently fold in the Greek yogurt for an extra creamy texture.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled in small bowls, drizzled with honey on top for added sweetness.
