Ingredients:

1 cup black rice
2 cups water
2 cups unsweetened plant milk
1/2 cup dried apple, diced
2 pitted Medjool dates, diced
1 tbsp currants
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 tbsp ground chia seeds

 

Method:

Place black rice in a bowl, cover well with water and leave to soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

In the morning, rinse black rice thoroughly in a strainer, then transfer to a medium saucepan, add 2 cups water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes or until water is completely absorbed.

Add all other ingredients except blueberries and chia and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in blueberries and chia and leave, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

Independent health writing is disappearing.

Everything left is sponsored, affiliated, or agenda-driven. The brands funding most health content aren't doing it out of goodwill - they're doing it because it works. Quietly shaping what gets written, what gets recommended, and what gets left out.

I've built Empower Total Health to be the exception. Every post is evidence-based, unsponsored, and written with one goal: to give you the clearest possible picture of what actually works for your health.

That independence has a cost. And it only survives if the people who value it choose to support it.

If you believe honest, uncompromised health writing is worth protecting, this is how you protect it:

      Oh how inspiring!! We haven’t made Dr F’s soup for ages, that will be on our menu for next cooking day. Forbidden rice pud looks delicious too, I’m surprised the black rice cooks so quickly, did you soak it first? Thanyou Imogen, how clever are you, I can’t wait to make these, they look so yummy!

        Sorry, should have explained that it was 2 cups of pre-cooked black rice. Will edit the recipe 🙂
