With this recipe you can now have rice pudding for breakfast. It's creamy and filling, and a little bit sweet. The combination of high fiber brown rice, raisins, and high protein Greek yogurt will keep you fuller longer! It's a great way to use up those brown rice leftovers from your healthy dinner the night before.

Hummus can be a great snack food, or a healthy addition to a wrap or sandwich. Store-bought versions tend to be a bit higher in fat and sodium, and making your own is SO easy! You can mix and match different flavors to experiment too.
