Rice pudding - 100% extruded rice semolina (1kg)

At the latest since "What I Eat in a Day" videos have seemingly appeared everywhere, you also see rice pudding suddenly all the time. But you are definitely not alone if you are now wondering: What exactly is behind it? Basically, it is the modern version of fitness rice pudding – so rice pudding 2.0. Only faster, simpler, and much more practical for everyday life.

If we take a closer look at the rice pudding vs. rice porridge difference the best part is obvious: Unlike classic rice pudding, you don’t have to cook the instant version. No standing at the stove for a long time, no constant stirring and above all no panic momentbecause the milk boils over in seconds again or burns on the bottom of the pot. You just throw the powder into the bowl, pour hot liquid over it, stir briefly – and voilà, a warm, cozy bowl is ready for you a few minutes later. Sounds almost too good to be true, but it really works!

Worldwide, you might know similar versions as:

• rice pudding from England or the USA
• kheer from India
• arroz con leche from Spain or Latin America

The modern fitness version, often also called Cream of Rice, is more focused on everyday life, sports, and quick meals.

There are simply those moments when a simple meal is worth its weight in gold. And honestly: That's exactly why a simple rice pudding recipe often makes everyday nutrition much more relaxed! You don't have to worry about hours of cooking or standing in the kitchen forever. No wonder the product appeals equally to fitness enthusiasts and everyday heroes – it is simply the perfect companion for the most diverse situations:

• When the morning is once again way too stressfulbecause the alarm clock rang too late and every minute really counts. Then a quick rice pudding breakfast simply saves your start to the day.
• When you come home completely wiped out after an intense workout and need something warm super fast to immediately refill your energy stores without much kitchen effort.
• When you want to eat a quick meal with plenty of carbohydrates right before your workout.
• When your meal prep plans for the week were well-intentioned but real life got in the way again and the fridge is yawningly empty.
• Or when a little craving hits in the evening and you want something sweet that doesn't feel heavy in your stomach.

By the way, the whole thing is really clean: Our powder consists of 100% rice semolina. So you have a great carbohydrate source here, without any unnecessary artificial additives.

When we talk about healthy eating, the question quickly comes up: Is rice pudding healthy? The honest answer, as often, is: It always depends on your overall diet and what else you add to your bowl. But the base itself? The rice semolina base is naturally vegan, low in fat, and completely free of added sugar, making it an exciting choice for your snacks. 

The nutritional values of rice pudding are especially popular because they show you what rice semolina really is: a simple and quick source of energy. Take a look at what 100 g of uncooked rice powder provides:

• About 83 g of carbohydrates
• Just 0.7 g of fat
• 0 g of added sugar: You decide entirely how sweet it should be.

The calories in rice pudding are also a real surprise for many. If you mix a 50 g serving of powder with water, you end up with just about 187 kcal. This is the perfect base that can be flexibly adapted to your goals. Do you have a busy day or a tough workout behind you? Then boost it with plant-based milk, hazelnut butter, and bananas. Want to keep it ultra light? Then use water, some berries, and a bit of protein powder. You decide what you need right now!

One thing upfront: The creamy rice bowl really fits with the most diverse routines and is not just for a super strict gym routine! Depending on your goal, you can use it in completely different ways:

• Rice pudding for weight loss? With this dish, you have full control over the portion size, ingredients, toppings, and thus the calories, and can perfectly manage them. What remains important, of course: Ultimately, what matters is your overall diet throughout the day, not a single product alone.
• For active athletes as a pre-workout: Rice pudding before training is very popular because it is such an uncomplicated source of carbohydrates. It quickly provides you with energy in the form of carbohydrates. For the perfect variety in the sports kitchen, you can also easily look for a rice pudding fitness recipe or a protein rice pudding recipe.
• As a post-workout: Even after an intense session, it fits perfectly to quickly and easily replenish your energy reserves after sweating. With the right combination (protein and toppings), you have the perfect fitness snack in a bowl in no time.

The classic: Rice pudding or oatmeal? That is probably the biggest duel in the fitness kitchen! Oatmeal provides fiber and therefore often keeps you full for a long time. The rice variant scores on completely different levels: It feels very light, tastes wonderfully neutral (perfect for all your favorite toppings) and is especially quick to prepare. Especially if your stomach prefers something light before sports or early in the morning, it is often a good alternative!

The good news first: There is no right or wrong, only what you feel like more at the moment! Both work great but come with a few subtle differences.

If you choose Water your bowl will usually be:

• Much lighter: Perfect if you just want a quick snack.
• Somewhat more neutral in taste: This is great if you want to add protein powder or lots of fruit anyway, because the base’s own flavor then completely fades into the background.
• Gentle on the stomach before exercise: The gym favorite before training! Since the powder usually consists of 100% rice semolina, you get a super pure carbohydrate source without artificial additives.

If you stir the powder with milk or plant-based drinks, it will be:

• Significantly creamier: It immediately gets this creamy texture, which feels like absolute comfort food.
• Fuller in flavor: The fats and natural taste of the milk (or alternative) carry the flavors just so much more intensely..
• More like a dessert: It tastes less like functional fitness food and more like a sweet treat.

My absolute insider tip: Especially oat drink or soy drink work really well here in my experience. This keeps your rice pudding completely vegan while still getting that nice creamy texture you just want to keep eating all the time. In the end, it all depends on your daily goal – but that flexibility is exactly what makes it great.

To be honest, the preparation doesn't have to be complicated at all. The best bowls usually come together when you simply combine whatever you're really craving at the moment.

Making rice pudding is really child's play and done in just a few minutes.:

• Step 1
  Just put a serving of powder into your favorite bowl.
• Step 2
  Pour hot water or a plant-based milk alternative (boiling hot) of your choice over it.
• Step 3
  Now stir vigorously so everything blends nicely.
• Step 4
  Let it sit for just 2 minutes – and the base is ready!

And the best part is yet to come! Because now your warm bowl is ready and you can completely decide which toppings you want right now.

Are you maybe still looking for a quick rice pudding recipe with protein included? For a creamy protein rice pudding experience, simply stir a bit of our vegan protein powder into the finished base. This helps cover your protein needs and you can vary the flavor every day. This creates a really delicious protein rice pudding that honestly tastes much more like a dessert than functional fitness food in the end!

Because our pudding is naturally vegan and completely neutral in taste it gives you maximum freedom with toppings and creations maximal freedom. From a completely simple base, you can quickly create completely different bowls – depending on what you feel like at the moment. My absolute favorite ingredients that you can perfectly use as a highlight on your bowl are:

• Fresh fruits & berries
  A ripe banana, fresh blueberries, or our crunchy strawberry slices immediately bring natural sweetness and freshness into play. Baked apple pieces also taste simply heavenly with it!
• Nut butter & seeds
  A big spoonful of creamy hazelnut-, Almond- or peanut butter makes your pudding not only extra creamy but also tastes wonderfully nutty.
• The perfect crunch upgrade
  If you’re on team “I need something to bite,” our protein-rich soy crispies or fine coconut chips are the absolute jackpot. And my pro tip for true connoisseurs: Just chop a few pieces of our crunchy protein bar as a topping on top – it tastes like a fine praline on your warm bowl!

You see: there are basically no limits. That’s exactly why this quick base preparation quickly becomes a real little favorite mealthat you can reinvent every day!
