Scale
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 scoops unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup full-fat greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice

Instructions
- In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, combine rice, water, whole milk, cinnamon stick, lime peel, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring frequently.
- Whisk together the protein powder with 3 tablespoons of warm milk in a separate bowl until fully dissolved, then add it to the pot to avoid clumping.
