🍽️ How Much Should I Eat?
Start with 3-4 spoonfuls from the top. Even a quarter of the bowl (75ml about 5-6 spoonfuls) provides 2g protein and meaningful carbohydrates to keep energy stable.
🥚 Ingredients
50g pudding rice (Tesco £1.20 for 500g equals 10 servings), 250ml semi-skimmed milk, 1-2 teaspoons sugar (optional), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional), 1 teaspoon jam for topping (optional)
📝 Instructions
Put 50g pudding rice in large microwave-safe bowl (must be large—rice bubbles up). Add 250ml milk and stir briefly. Microwave HIGH for 2 minutes. Remove and stir. Microwave another 2 minutes. Remove and stir again. Microwave final 2 minutes. Stir in sugar and vanilla if using. Let stand 1 minute (thickens as it sits). Serve warm or cold.

😔 Low Appetite
Make full recipe but only eat 4-5 spoonfuls. Save rest in fridge—rice pudding keeps 3 days and can be eaten cold straight from fridge.
🤢 Feeling Nauseous
Serve at room temperature not hot. Skip sugar and vanilla—very plain rice pudding is often more tolerable. Eat one spoonful at a time with 30-second pauses.
😊 Normal Appetite
Make full bowl with toppings: jam sliced banana sprinkle of cinnamon. Could comfortably eat 1.5 bowls worth on good appetite days.
📦 Storage & Make-Ahead
Store in airtight container for up to 3 days in fridge. Eat cold (genuinely nice) or reheat 30-60 seconds in microwave. Add splash of milk if too thick.
📊 Nutrition & Compliance
