Sprouted Wild Rice Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup wild rice
• 8 cups water
• 1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened boxed
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 cup pineapple, peeled and chopped
• 2 Tbs macadamia nuts, raw
• 1 Tbs coconut flakes, unsweetened

Directions
Prep
1. To sprout rice: Rinse wild rice and add to a glass bowl or large jar with water [rice should be covered by 2".] Let sit on the counter overnight. Drain, rinse and cover with water again. Place in refrigerator until it "blooms" and cracks open - anywhere from 1-3 days. Wild rice will be chewy so test until the desired texture is achieved.

Make
1. Place the sprouted rice in a saucepot and warm over low heat with coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Stir in chia seeds and let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir. Ladle into bowls and top with pineapple, macadamia nuts, and coconut flakes.

Enjoy!

Notes
We recommend increasing the amount of wild rice that you sprout as it stores well in the refrigerator and can be added to many recipes. Store drained wild rice in a covered dish for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
