Pinoy Recipe - Champorado (Chocolate Flavored Rice Porridge)

Champorado is quite a popular Filipino recipe.

This is rice porridge with chocolate flavor. This is usually served in the morning. When I was a kid, I ate this a lot because I like sweets. And it was really hard for me to eat breakfast because I wanted to play as early as possible. So, mom would cook this just to make me eat breakfast.

I like my champorado served cold and really thick. So what I usually do after cooking it is let it cool down and put inside the fridge for a few hours. It will get thicker as it cool down. Then when it's cold enough for me, I would take some in a bowl and put a lot of milk or cream, whichever is available.

As you all know, I am expecting my first baby, and I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I was so frustrated because I love sweets and my doctor specifically told me not to eat anything sweet. I have to go through a major diet change and boy it's hard. I switched from white rice to brown rice. I tell you what, it was not bad at all. In fact, I am getting used to it. I even find brown rice to be a lot better that white rice when it comes to taste. That is why on this Pinoy recipe of champorado, I used the leftover brown rice. And instead of using sugar, I used the artificial sweetener. I was really tempted to use the chocolate milk, but I don't want my sugar level to go up high again. And you know what? My healthy version of champorado is actually pretty good. The brown rice complemented the chocolate. So, I am not only encouraging you to try this recipe, but also to try to be healthy. It may seem hard at first, but it's really not.

RICE is chemically no different from sugar, WHITE or BROWN. So if you need to loose weight use oats instead.
