Protein Rice Pudding

I cannot take credit for this recipe, but it is so amazingly delicious that I had to share! This recipe uses zero calorie Miracle Rice. I haven't tried the rice in any other recipe, because I'm officially addicted to this pudding. After trying it the first time, I placed an immediate order for more Miracle Rice. The serving size is HUGE (makes 1 serving), so if you're a volume eater, you need this in your life. You can view the original recipe on Kim's site. 

Protein Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

1 package Miracle Rice 
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 scoop Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl protein powder
1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
1 packet stevia

Directions:

1. Rinse the Miracle Rice in a strainer (make sure it has super small holes so the rice doesn't fall out!)

2. Pat the rice dry (don't drive yourself crazy, but you want to make sure there isn't a lot of water in your bowl)

3. Add the rice to a large bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients.

I topped mine with fresh fruit, roasted edamame, and peanut butter!

Serves: 1

• 1 whole bag of miracle rice (2.5 servings)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 scoop cinnamon swirl cellucor protein
• 1 TBSP sugar free vanilla pudding mix
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 stevia packet

Lemon Blueberry Protein Pancakes

These pancakes are moist and hearty, and the warm, juicy blueberries inside make them extra delicious. This recipe is actually long overdue, but I always like to do a second or third round of recipe testing before I post them. The problem is, I'm always making new recipes so it takes a long time to get back to all the ones I have to test! I decided that I'm going to stop being such a perfectionist and changing all my recipes two or three times . . . or just never posting them. If they taste amazing, they are just getting posted. Many people have been asking me where I get some of my ingredients. I linked some of the ingredients below to the website where I bought them. If you use the link provided, you'll receive a discount off your order :) . Also, there is a link on my homepage that brings you to the website that automatically applies the discount if you if you click on it.
