Start your day with a nourishing Vegan Black Rice Breakfast Bowl that supplements your body with grains, fresh fruit, nutritious coconut milk. Use this recipe as a simple make-ahead option for busy mornings or relaxed weekend meals.

This recipe if especially great for a vegan breakfast with black rice, peaches, and coconut milk sharing star billing. Black rice—really more of a purply-black color—contains beneficial anthocyanins (the same compounds found in other red and purple foods like purple cabbage and grapes) and has a chewier texture than traditional white rice.

The rice can be made the night before, while the peach and coconut milk can be blended together at the last minute. Pass around bowls of toasted coconut, almonds, and chia seeds for the perfect do-it-yourself breakfast.

Instructions

1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked—it should still have some bite—allow it to cool slightly before serving. Alternatively, you can chill it overnight and serve it cold.
2. Peel the peaches, slice them in half, and remove the pits. Place half of the peaches in a blender with the coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
3. Slice the remaining peaches thinly into half-round slices.
4. Divide the rice between serving bowls. Pour over some of the peach and coconut puree, then top with the sliced peaches. Garnish with your choice of coconut flakes, sliced almonds, and chia seeds. Finish with an extra drizzle of honey and enjoy!
