I eat some wonderful, warm starchy concoction most mornings, lately it has been cream of rice. Why? A couple reasons.
Cream of rice has less fat than oatmeal. Yes, oatmeal has 3 grams of fat per serving and when you are trying to lose every extra ounce of fat on your body, this matters. Come competition time, I switch from oatmeal to cream of rice.
Cream of rice is so fast and easy to make, it's as close to instant as you can get. I make a big pot, divide it into several glass bowls, top each with a teaspoon of ground flax seed and pop them in the fridge for the upcoming mornings.
Cream of rice has a great texture that is, well, creamy! I top it with splenda and some of these fantastic flavor drops, they are fat, sugar, carb and calorie free.
These drops are called Capella Flavor Drops. I bought a mini sampler pack of 6 and I received Cinnamon Danish Swirl, Caramel, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Banana Split, French Toast and Vanilla Custard.
These make my cream of rice a whole different special treat everyday!
I do have to have protein too, so I usually have one cup of liquid egg whites, microwaved. I eat the egg whites first because the cream of rice is like dessert to me.
I don't think one can find cream of rice here in Spain. Can it be made from scratch?
ReplyDeleteTry looking for it in the baby food section, it says on the box "great for infants" and I beleive it is one of the first foods that people introduce to little ones.
ReplyDeleteI doubt you can make it yourself, you would need to grind up rice very finely....
I'll do that!
