Brown Rice For Your Healthy Lunch Ideas

Leftover Brown Rice Breakfast Pudding

I want to use more whole grains around here beyond whole wheat. There are so many other delicious whole grains with different nutrients that can be of benefit to our family.  One easy to prepare whole grain is brown rice.  While rice is common on most dinner tables, it’s also great for breakfast.  Rice is also great because

• it stores well,
• few kids have sensitivity to it,
• it’s super cheap, and
• it makes great leftovers!

If there are ever ways to repurpose leftovers, I will use them!

So, here it is:

• Take 2 cups cooked brown rice, reheated.
• In a blender, blend up

• 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk (or low fat milk with 1 tsp. vanilla extract)
• 1/2 cup berries (strawberries)
• 1 tsp. honey or agave

Mix the milk and berries with your warmed up brown rice. 

Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb

Top with extra berries or other fruit.

Makes 4, 1/2 cup servings.

This is one of my favourite healthy lunch ideas. It's easy to make and super scrummy. Best of all rice is something your kids will be familiar with, so it's an easy one to introduce!
