Making Glorified Rice

pineapple

🥗Healthier: fresh pineapple

💰Cheaper: canned pineapple

Fresh pineapple is lower in sugar and adds a vibrant flavor.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cool whip

Greek yogurt offers creaminess with fewer calories.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Seeds are often more affordable and nut-free.

coconut

🥗Healthier: toasted oats

💰Cheaper: shredded wheat

Toasted oats provide a similar texture without the cost.

Cook rice according to package instructions and let cool completely.

In a large bowl, combine cooled rice with pineapple and stir gently.

Fold in marshmallows and whipped cream until evenly mixed.

Add coconut and nuts, mixing just until incorporated.

Season with a pinch of salt to enhance flavors.

Transfer mixture to a serving dish and smooth the top.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Garnish with cherries on top before serving.
