One of my favorite easy breakfasts, pretty inexpensive depending on the exact ingredients you use, is Fruit & Rice. This morning, I used banana, since that’s what we had on hand (on sale at BJ’s for ridiculously cheap). It’s super easy, which is nice when I’m tired and hungry and don’t want to get started on my day.
I start with rice, either fresh from the rice cooker or leftovers from the fridge. If I’m using leftover rice, I’ll microwave it till it’s nice and warm first. Either way, it goes into a bowl. I add plenty of sugar—about two tablespoons or so, I believe. The next ingredient is soymilk (because I don’t eat any cow-dairy, but I’m sure it would taste just fine with regular milk if that’s what you prefer), which is poured over the rice till it just begins to pool at the bottom. I mix it up thoroughly, and then top with fruit. Mango is my favorite when it’s on sale, but frozen berries do nicely in a pinch (just put them on the bottom, under the steaming rice to thaw them). Today, I had banana, which I sliced up on top. Since I was using leftover rice, I tossed the banana slices in the micro too, and they taste quite delectable when warm. To top it all off, I added a sprinkling of cinnamon to the whole thing, then called it breakfast. Tada!
