Sweet Rice and Mango Breakfast

This breakfast was inspired by a very pricey (and much sweeter) dessert that a friend ordered for me at an amazing little Thai restaurant in Albuquerque. I was sold from the first bite and now it's a favorite breakfast of mine! When I find mangoes for a good price I try to snag a few and make a rice based meal (with extra) the day before. That makes whipping up this meal quick and oh-so-rewarding!

Sweet Rice and Mango Breakfast

4 cups brown rice, cooked
½ can coconut milk
½ cup sugar
2 mangoes

1. Boil coconut milk and sugar until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Stir warm rice and coconut "cream" together and serve with a beautifully sliced half-mango and enjoy!

Gluten free and not very fattening - the fat that is in it is the amazing-good-for-you kind.
