Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small saucepan, whisk the water and whey protein isolate together over low heat until fully dissolved and smooth, 2–3 minutes; do not let it simmer or boil to keep the smell and curdling minimal.

  2. 2

    Stir in the cooked white rice and a tiny pinch of salt if using, and cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture becomes very soft and slightly thick, like a loose rice pudding.

  3. 3

    Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes until just warm, then gently fold in the plain Greek yogurt until completely combined and creamy.

  4. 4

    Add the finely grated lemon zest and maple syrup if using, stirring well; taste and adjust sweetness with a little more maple syrup or water for a thinner texture if your stomach prefers it.

  5. 5

    Divide the mixture into two small bowls or cups and let stand for another 5–10 minutes to finish thickening, or chill briefly in the fridge if you prefer it cooler and find that more soothing for nausea.

GLP-1 Tips

  • If your nausea is strong, eat this slowly in small spoonfuls and keep the flavor very mild by reducing the lemon zest and skipping the maple syrup, as bland and cool foods are often better tolerated on GLP-1 medications.

Storage

Cover and refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours; add a splash of water and stir before eating to loosen the texture if it thickens.
