The Joyous Cookbook
Hello my joyous readers!
You may be a fan of this recipe on my site originally adapted from my friend Julie Daniluk's recipe. I've updated it again this past Sunday. It's perfect for those weeks when you know it's going to be busy with little time for food prep and you want to eat a nutritious breakfast.
When you eat a good breakie, you truly set the stage for a joyous day! What does a joyous day mean?
Balanced energy all day long (no extreme highs or lows)
Balanced blood sugar all day (no 3pm lull where you are reaching for cookies)
Cravings in check!
Mood in check!
Metabolism churning like a Ferrari's engine
Good digestion = bowel movements with ease
If you've never made the original version of this recipe before you are in for a real treat because your kitchen is going to smell like rice pudding!! In fact, this tastes a little like rice pudding but far healthier for you. It is gluten-free, refined sugar free and will keep your belly full for hours. It's the perfect breakfast. If you live on your own, then you can freeze the extras.
*If you can't find ground almonds you can very easily do it yourself. Simply using your food processor grind up whole raw almonds to a flour consistency. That easy!
**Only use if your protein powder is not flavoured.
Enjoy with some sheep's milk yogurt or for an non-dairy option use plain coconut yogurt, some sliced bananas and sprinkle of cinnamon.
As much as I love the original recipe, this update is even better! Wow! Definitely going to try this.

ReplyJust made this and it is delish... and so easy!
ReplySounds tasty and convenient. How long will this keep in the fridge?
Reply4-5 days. You could also cut it up into individual portions and freeze for longer.
What could I use to substitute the almond flour and pumpkin seeds. We have a tree nut allergy in our home and cannot use either of these things due to possible cross contamination. Thank you in advance for your reply.
ReplyHi Margot, the pumpkin seeds are a small amount so you could just avoid those. As for the ground almonds, I would suggest brown rice or quinoa flour instead. I haven't tried it with this, but I'm pretty sure it will work. Good luck!
Hi! Looking forward to trying this recipe. When you have coconut milk in a recipe is this canned? Thanks! Jackie
ReplyYou could use either canned or tetra pack, both will work!
