My January goal is to experiment with as many whole grains as possible. Why? Well, they are a great source of fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. Also, I have been accumulating fun ones for quite some time and my cupboard is OVERFLOWING! I am breastfeeding my wee one and craving carbohydrates like crazy. Whole grains are a great choice to settle those cravings because they will help keep me fuller longer than less fibrous options.
My dear friend Kara is a Minnesotan. She turned me onto this breakfast idea- its a good one doncha know!
Wild Rice Breakfast Porridge
Serves 4
2 cups cooked brown rice/wild rice mixture (you may use entirely wild rice if you would like)
3 Tbsp chopped pecans
3 Tbsp slivered almonds
1/4 cup dried blueberries
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 cup vanilla almond milk, divided
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Combine rice, pecans, almonds, dried blueberries, maple syrup, and 1/2 cup almond milk in a large pot. Heat over medium-high heat until milk is absorbed and mixture is hot.
Serve in four bowls, pouring remaining almond milk over the top and sprinkling with blueberries prior to serving.
