Ingredients

  • 2 & 1⁄2 cups water
  • 1 cup of long grain white rice
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups of whole milk
  • 1 cup half n half
  • 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Thoroughly wash and rinse the white rice.
  2. Add water, rice, cinnamon sticks, and salt into a large pot over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for roughly 15 minutes.
  3. Stir in the milk, half n half, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Raise the temperature to medium high again, bring to a boil, then reduce back to low, and cook for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. This process helps the mixture become thick and creamy.
  5. Cut the heat once the mixture is thick. Let it cool for roughly 40 minutes before adding in the vanilla protein powder.
  6. Mix in the vanilla protein powder. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours then serve cold and garnish with ground cinnamon.

Notes: Additional items can be used to garnish/add nutrients such as berries, chai seeds, nuts, etc.
