Brown Rice Pudding

We actually remember the very first time we had pudding as seven year old excited girls! Creamy, sweet pudding truly hits the spot! For some reason, pudding wasn’t a dessert our mom made (all of the desserts in our house, other than ice cream she made herself) and we had seen our TV dad (Bill Cosby) advertising Jell-O chocolate pudding and we couldn’t wait to try it. We both remember trying it for the first time at our friend Robyn’s and licking the cup clean! We loved it, to say the least. 😉

So now, in our true fashion, we’ve made yet another guilt-free pudding (check out our Grape Chia Seed Pudding and our Chocolate Chia Raspberry Pudding for more!) by swapping some ingredients in this delicious dessert. This version of rice pudding is insanely creamy and delish! Using almond milk helps get that rich creamy texture and this pudding is sans preservatives, artificial flavors and colors. One cup of uncooked rice becomes three cups of cooked rice so you can adjust this recipe as needed. You’ll love that this pudding will take you back to your childhood and if you’ve got kiddies they will be so happy to have this treat as an after school snack. Plus it is made with brown rice so you get added benefits of selenium, manganese, and anti-oxidants—all which help to prevent damage to your body from free radicals.

You can add a sprinkle of almonds, cranberries, fresh fruit, or even shaved coconut to satisfy your craving of the day.
