Protein arroz doce (Portuguese rice pudding)
The cinnamon and lemon classic, creamy, with 21 g of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) cooked white rice (day-old or leftover)
- 250 ml (1 cup) reduced-fat milk
- 35 g (1¼ oz) vanilla protein powder — about 1 heaping scoop
- 15 g (½ oz) honey
- 1 cinnamon stick (3 g) — just for flavor; remove before blending
- lemon peel, to taste
- salt, to taste
- milk, as needed — only if you need it for the re-spin (or kefir, if you have it)
Method
- Heat the milk with the cinnamon stick and lemon peel just until it comes to a boil, take it off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes — there's nothing else to cook, the rice is already cooked.
- Remove the cinnamon and lemon peel, then add the rice, honey, protein powder and a pinch of salt.
The full method (8 steps), Rico's tip, the variations and storage are in the ebook “Ninja Creami”. The English edition is coming soon.
