Breakfast Rice with Honey & Cranberries

As the old phrase goes “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper”.  Unfortunately, I’m one of these people that rarely feels hungry in the morning. Over the past few years however I have made a pact with myself to stop and eat a small healthy breakfast, as I was finding more and more that I was struggling with energy slumps in the early part of the afternoon.   Breakfast is an important part of our daily routine and can make a positive impact on our energy levels and as I came to realise, my ability to become more productive.

I’m always looking for diverse and healthy breakfast options and with Perthshire’s fantastic honey products on the market, I decided to experiment and try some honey in a rice based breakfast dish.  Honey provides us with natural sugars, which are a healthy source of energy for the body, and with rice being abundant in carbohydrates, it also acts as fuel for the body.

I used 0% Fat Greek yoghurt in this recipe but you can tweak the ingredients to suit your own taste buds – if you were feeling like an indulgent treat, double cream would be delicious as a substitute for the yoghurt (maybe for the weekend)!.  Again I love cranberries but other dried fruits would work as equally as well.

Hope your day is filled with a hearty breakfast, sunshine and happiness! 

Enjoy
