Standard Serving

Benefits
- ✓Contains calcium and protein from milk, nutrients useful for bone health

- ✓A gentler option for the stomach than high-fat desserts, good during digestive recovery periods

Considerations
- !Values are averages for the classic recipe (rice, milk, sugar) - commercial versions with whipped cream or sour cream can have 30-50% more calories
- !The sugar content (12g/100g) is significant, so the portion should be factored into the daily added-sugar budget
- !Using whole milk instead of semi-skimmed raises the fat content by about 30-40%
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends making rice pudding with semi-skimmed milk and cutting the sugar by a third compared to classic recipes, adding cinnamon or vanilla to compensate for taste - this cuts calories without sacrificing the dessert's flavor.
