Pumpkin Congee
We are loving the fall flavors from this great congee our Ambassador Elsie made. She's making a great take on comfort food while recovering from a cold. Elsie is keeping it keto with our low-carb Miracle Rice and our Konjac Flour. Feel better soon, Elsie!
"I love pumpkins and anything made with pumpkins. Pumpkin congee or porridge is one of my favorite comfort foods. Even more so now when I am recovering from laryngitis as it's so soothing for my throat. This is a guilt-free, low-carb version using Miracle Rice and konjac flour from Miracle Noodle. It's simple, easy and so delicious." --- Elsie Yan AKA @lowcarbrecipes on Instagram
