GutRx Basmati Rice Porridge
Ingredients
- 2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 0.13 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Powder
- 1 Banana
- 0.5 cup Basmati Rice
- 2 teaspoon Clover Honey
Instructions
- To make the porridge… place your uncooked basmati rice in a high- powered blender and pulse for a few seconds to chop the grains.
- Place the rice in a saucepan and cover with 1 ¼ cups almond milk. Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, take off the lid, and stir the rice. Pour in the remaining almond milk to warm. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Divide the porridge between two bowls and top with slices of banana and a drizzle of clover honey.
Notes
Honey contains fructose. Northern latitude honey (clover, raspberry, alfalfa) contain a closer ratio of fructose to glucose than tropical honey (like the honey that Monash University tested and noted as a high fodmap food). Since northern latitude honey contains a closer ratio of fructose to glucose, this improves fructose absorption and we find that many people with fructose intolerance can enjoy a small amount of northern latitude honey. Please try this and see how you do (easy enough to test out in tea, like Rooibos tea).
