I’m always on the hunt to find ways to use leftovers. This is the prefect way to treat your family to a frozen dessert and pump up the servings of whole grains at the same time.

Makes 5 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1/2 cup cooked short grain brown rice
1 cup reduced fat plain yogurt
1 cup non-fat, skim milk
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons golden flax meal
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until the rice begins to break apart. Pour into an air-tight, freezable container. Freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm.

    I haven’t tried it yet, but the babysitter fed this to my kids today (5, 3, and 1) and they all gobbled it up!

    I added brown rice to make a chewy component to the recipe and add a little bulk and fiber!

    Why golden flax meal? Is it necessary to the recipe?

    Good question!

    I add flax meal whenever I can for texture and because it’s high in omega 3’s.

    It was delicious! I made it without the flax meal because I could not find any, but it was great without it.
