Bethenny Frankel: Good morning I am about to go to yoga, so I am going to make my Brown Rice breakfast. When I was on a Martha Stewart apprentice, I made it every morning, because it took five minutes and everyone was obsessed with it. So I just took about half a cup of brown rice, this is for one person. I do not believe in measuring. I want to write a book called ‘Made Not To Measure’ because I just don't think that the people should be instructed and should learn how to think for himself.
This is half a cup of brown rice, and then add some sliced almonds. You could use walnuts, you could use apricots, whatever you have. The purpose is to make it easy and fit into your life. And I will about a table spoon of these. Same thing, a table spoon of raisins but you could use a table spoon of dry cranberries or blue berries.
And now I am going to add the wet ingredients. Put some soymilk, you can buy any brand of soymilk, a quarter of a cup, two table spoons of soymilk. I am just sprinkling it in here to get it wet. You could use skimmed milk, a lot of people don't every time use it, so I use soy milk, I think it's a little bit healthier. It might be my psychological thing but I don’t like to eat much dairy.
Now I am going to add a table spoon of maple syrup. You could also substitute honey if you only have brown sugar around its okay this moisture from soya. I like maple syrup because it's healthy, it's good for you, if it's good maple syrup will have a lot of vitamin in it. And then a dash, this is optional and I do a dash of Vanilla extract. So now a little bit of cinnamon, just sprinkle cinnamon.
Now you mix this up and you can either heat it on a stove top or you can microwave it. It's really good. Every time I taste this, I can't believe how good it is. It's so simple, two minutes, I mean how long did I take? It's so good. Everybody on the apartment is really obsessed with it. Brown rice breakfast there you have it.
Disposable containers are away, mire your portions, make you eat healthy, have something to play into work and it's economical. Because this brown rice breakfast that I just made would cost --- an oat meal would be $4 for one day. And I have to say that is probably like two to three days and it cost nothing, and it's left over things I had in my pantry. So I would buy these containers and I am store them up and just them keep them up at work, or even keep it in your refrigerator and everyday you have the portions. Biggest problem with food for people is portions. I am saying because I have portion control,. not because I don't eat, I eat everything. So I would just make a nice portion for yourself and there is your breakfast. There is one healthy breakfast.
