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
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
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.
Serve with Buttermilk Chicken Fingers or Sauteed Spinach.

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!

Jen
Is the brown sugar light or dark and do you think I can use Splenda blend brown surgar?
Thanks

why do you have rice in it
March 12, 2009, 12:11 pm
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.
