Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

• ¾ cup cooked white rice
• 1 ½ cups cold water
• 2 scoops TAHA Vanilla Protein Powder
• 2 cups milk (any variety you prefer)
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• ½ cup chopped dried apricot
• 1 egg, beaten
• ⅔ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Ground cinnamon for topping

METHOD 

1. Whisk together the two cups of milk and the two scoops of TAHA Protein Powder until smooth and well combined. Set the mixture aside for later.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
   
3. Once the rice is cooked, add 1½ cups of the protein milk, sugar, and salt. Stir frequently while cooking over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
4. Stir in the remaining ½ cup of protein milk, the beaten egg, and the chopped dried apricots. Continue cooking for two more minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the egg from scrambling.
   
5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.

This protein-rich version of a beloved classic is the perfect blend of comfort and nourishment. With the natural sweetness of dried apricots, the warmth of cinnamon, and the power of TAHA Protein, it's a treat you can feel good about.
