Healthy Rice Pudding

I think I need to rename this post to: “a dessert so healthy you an eat it for breakfast!”

Seriously. So healthfully delicious!

Healthy Rice Pudding

The best part about this recipe is that you probably already have all of these wonderful flavors in your kitchen. It makes my heart warm just thinking about it melting on my tongue.

As you read in the above recipe, I used a rice cooker. I haven’t gone a week without using that thing since I got it. You literally mix all of the ingredients in the rice cooker, turn it on, and walk away.

If you don’t have one, no fret! You can still make this recipe. All you’ll need is a medium size pot and a stove. You’ll want to use the exact same measurements as above. First, bring 1 cup of rice, 3 cups of milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon to a rolling boil. Then, cover and turn to low and let simmer until all liquid has absorbed. I’m guessing this will take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Finally, add in an additional cup of milk and serve hot. 

Healthy Rice Pudding

If you like raisins, you and cook them right into this. Add in about 1/3 cup of raisins at the beginning and you’re good to go. Or- just add them on top like I did!

Healthy Rice Pudding

So what makes this recipe (Healthy Rice Pudding ) so healthy? I made some major swaps!

  • I used brown rice instead of white rice
  • I used almond milk instead of cream or whole milk I used no additional fats (like butter or oil)

Breakfast time?

Happy Tuesday!

PS: I had to bring a sweatshirt with my yesterday because the temperatures are chilly here. Sad face. Summer- you will be missed!

Healthy Vanilla Almond Milk Latte Rice Pudding

This healthy rice pudding recipe is made with brown rice, vanilla almond milk, and coffee giving it the most delicious, aromatic flavor!  Plus- it’s gluten-free and vegan!

Healthy Vanilla Almond Milk Latte Rice Pudding

As a blogger who is constantly producing new (AMAZING…jus sayin ) content, I try and keep most of the Fit Foodie jam off of my personal facebook page. I do every once in a while link to a recipe I’m proud of or a fun workout.

Last week I asked my personal friends….”If you were going to make rice pudding but wanted to give it a unique holiday flavor…which would you choose?!”

I got over 40 responses…here are some of my favorites: 

  • Eggnog
  • Gin
  • Cinnabun
  • Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
  • Gingerbread
  • Candy Canes and Rum
  • Turkey Broth

These responses say a lot about my friends….1. They love holiday flavors 2. They are almost always drunk (jk, but they love to drink) and 3. They are extremely creative.

My girl Emily Miner commented with Gingerbread Almond Milk Latte, which got me on the Latte train. Oo0o do I love the flavor of coffee

Healthier Monster Cookies

These monster cookies are made with 100% whole grains and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar for a lightened up version of a classic favorite!

Before we jump right into these delicious Monster Cookies (which are my all time fav cookie!!!!), I wanted to chat about my sister’s wedding from last weekend.

All I have to say is- it was one of THE BEST WEEKENDS OF MY LIFE. It wasn’t even my wedding and it was magical. It was so great to have all of our friends and family in one place for an extended weekend. Shenanigans started Thursday morning and ended Tuesday morning and I loved every minute of it. 

In a nutshell, here’s how I felt about the wedding…

The venue was beautiful. The weather was our friend. My sister looked like a bombshell. I danced like a maniac. The food was top notch. The bar was open. I danced like a maniac. A smile never left my face. I stayed up til 3AM (world record). My speech didn’t suck. I carried a selfie stick with me the entire night. I have the coolest parents on the planet. I’m super pumped to have Sister Boy officially part of the fam. 

Check out some photos from the wedding. The bottom left photo goes to Michelle’s amazing photographer – Jody Savage Photography. I can’t wait until they’re all up!

So these cookies are heaven.

They’re made with all of my favorite things, too.

  • peanut butter
  • chocolate
  • oatmeal

Yup, peanut butter and chocolate…and oatmeal, too! You can’t go wrong. 

These monster cookies are made with 100% whole grains and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar for a lightened up version of a classic favorite!

I thought about making these monster cookies monstrous in size, but I feel so much more fulfilled when I can eat 2 or 3 cookies as opposed to 1 giant one. Anyone else feel this way too?

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cashew meal, I use the Trader Joe’s brand (the entire bag)
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup 100% Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 egg, large

Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Next, in a large bowl, mix together cashew meal, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt. Then, add in wet ingredients and mix. Finally, add in chocolate chips. You dough should be a little looser than typical cookie dough.
  3. Next, wet hands so that you can easily create your log (if you don’t wet your hands, the dough will stick to you). You’ll want the log to be about ¾ of an inch thick and 4-5 inches long.
  4. Bake log at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes until the top firms up and begins to brown.
  5. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 250º.
  6. Once the log has cooled, slice into biscotti pieces. I sliced mine about ¾ of an inch thick. Just make sure all of your biscottis are relatively the same thickness.
  7. Place biscotti back onto the baking sheet on either of the open sides.
  8. Bake at 250ºF for 15 minutes. Then remove from oven, flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes

Super Simple Yogurt and Granola Parfaits

Super Simple Yogurt and Granola Parfaits

Layer up Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and your favorite homemade granola for the simplest mason jar parfait breakfast!

Yogurt and Granola Parfait - Layer up Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and your favorite homemade granola for the simplest mason jar parfait breakfast!"

So,I have a slight obsession with coffee. Like an unhealthy obsession. Like I drink 2 cups in the morning with breakfast, one cup after my workout, and then usually another cup in the afternoon. Like like like like. I say cup, but most of these “cups” are at least 8 oz. Le sigh. I bring this up because I GOT A HEADACHE the other day and it’s because I haven’t been drinking as much coffee. You see, I don’t get headaches. AND WEB MD TOLD ME I WAS HAVING WITHDRAWALS.

I blame the fact that I work from home and I need human interaction so I go to coffee shops AND that my french press is my best friend.

At least it’s cups of coffee and not wine or hard alcohol 

Yogurt and Granola Parfait - Layer up Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and your favorite homemade granola for the simplest mason jar parfait breakfast!"

Ingredients for Super Simple Yogurt and Granola Parfaits

  • granola
  • Greek yogurt
  • berries

Man it’s been way too long since I made homemade granola. This is probably a good thing because granola is like crack to me. I JUST CAN’T STOP EATING IT OH EM GEE. Who else is with me? If I had to choose my fav granola recipe from FFF…it would be our Blueberry Orange Granola. Fun Fact: It’s is actually a Linley creation. She is the mastermind behind this recipe and I’M OBSESSED. I made a batch to bring to Milwaukee 2 weeks for the man candy and he gave it a two thumbs up. Obvi.

Seriously you need to make this granola. Then you need to dig out your mason jar (because they’re cute) and layer up your favorite Greek yogurt and fresh berries. IT’S SO PRETTY AND INSTAGRAM-WORTHY.

I give myself HUGE PROPS for taking this photo without Linley ^^^^. She’s usually with me on photo shoot days…hence why you never see my finger thumbs (yes my fingers all look like thumbs) in my photos. NOT THIS ONE. Those are my finger thumbs. My stubby little finger thumbs.

Hand modeling has never and will never be on my resume 

What’s your fav granola flavor? 

Please tell me you are addicted to coffee!
