Rice porridge

This is a perfect recipe if you have left over rice and you are tired of the daily oatmeal, this is super creamy, warm and delicious. 

You will need:

-One cup of cooked brown rice( feel free to use any rice that you have, I think that with sticky rice this would be great) 

-A little bit less than 1/2 cup of any nondairy milk of your choice 

-1 tbsp of vanilla 

1 tbsp of cinnamon 

-Sweetener of your choice 

-1 ripe banana 

-A handful f raisins 

Add everything to your casserole (mash the banana) except the milk, you want to add the liquid little by little if you want the rice to be thick, cook everything untill the rice soaks most of the liquid and you are ready to enjoy this creamy porridge

Overnight banana oatmeal

This is such an awesome recipe, cooking your oatmeal overnight in the refrigerator with no actual cooking, great right? Breakfast on the go. 

The only ratio you need to remember is 1:1 . You'll soak 1 part of rolled oats with 1 part of any non dairy milk (I use almond) . You can use less liquid if you want a thicker oatmeal of more of you like it runny. 

The just add some vanilla extract, mash one banana with the mixture , some maple syrup,agave or whatever you want to make it sweeter. Then I added some raisins and one tbsp of chia seeds, give it a stir, put it into a jar, then let the jar sit overnight in te refrigerator, in the morning just top with more sliced bananas, any nut butter of your choise, dried fruit and nuts( I aded almond butter, raisins and dates) and that's it, enjoy!
