I used to think I had to cut rice to be healthy.
But it turns out—it’s not about restriction. It’s about balance.

These are 3 ways I upgrade my rice to make it more blood sugar–friendly, PCOS-friendly, and actually satisfying!

#RECIPE below!

🧡 Quinoa Rice
Ingredients (3-4 servings):
¾ cup white rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
¾ cup quinoa 
1 ¾ cup water or bone broth

💚 Barley Rice
Ingredients (3-4 servings):
¾ cup white rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
¾ cup barley (soaked overnight or a few hours)
1 ¾ cups water or bone broth

💜 Black Soybean Purple Rice
Ingredients (3-4 servings):
1 ½ cups white rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
2 tablespoons black rice
Handful of black soybeans (soaked overnight)
1 ¾ cups water

🍚 Cooking the Rice (Rice Cooker vs. Stovetop)

Rice Cooker: Rinse & transfer the rice mix and water/bone broth to your rice cooker and cook on the white rice/glutinous rice setting.

Stovetop: Rinse & transfer the rice mix and water/bone broth to a pot. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Once cooked, let the rice sit with the lid on (heat turned off) for 10 minutes to finish steaming.
