Topped with ripe, juicy mango, this recipe contains no added sugar and delivers long-lasting energy and protein when you need it most.
The combination of slow-releasing carbohydrates from rice and an extra boost of plant-based protein makes this a satisfying and balanced snack that keeps you full and energised.
Ingredients (serves 2)
-
50 g short-grain rice (rinsed)
-
250 ml plant milk (e.g. oat, almond, or soy)
-
A pinch of salt
-
100 ml extra plant milk (added after cooking)
-
Fresh mango, diced
Method
Place the rinsed rice in a small saucepan with 250 ml of plant milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most of the milk has been absorbed.
Once cooked, stir in the additional 100 ml of milk and the WAM Protein - Pure Vanilla. Mix well until the protein powder is fully dissolved and you have a smooth, creamy consistency. Our protein powder adds a pleasant vanilla flavour without being overly sweet or artificial.
Spoon the finished rice pudding into bowls or jars and top generously with fresh mango. The riper and juicier the mango, the better - it adds a fruity freshness that pairs beautifully with the light vanilla notes.
How to Enjoy It
This rice pudding is best served warm, straight from the pot - especially comforting on colder days. But it’s also delicious chilled. Simply transfer to storage jars and keep in the fridge for a few hours. That way, you’ll have a high-protein snack or grab-and-go breakfast ready whenever you need it.
Thanks to its balanced mix of plant protein, complex carbs, and fresh fruit, this pudding is more than just tasty - it’s also a smart addition to your fitness routine. And the best part? It’s quick to prepare and made with simple, wholesome ingredients.
