Millet Porridge

Millet is a seed but you can get it in a flake form as well just like porridge oats. It’s that bit sweeter than regular porridge. It’s really nutritious – providing fiber, iron, B vitamins, manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium – and highly alkaline, making it easily digestible and soothing to the stomach 🙂 Here’s a great article with a lot more info on millet ~ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/12-health-benefits-of-millet.html

Here’s how I made my Millet Porridge…

  1. Rule of thumb: Simmer in 2 parts liquid to 1 part millet flakes. I used 1 cup of almond and coconut milk to 1/2 cup of millet flakes.
  2. I let it simmer on a medium heat for approx 5 minutes and stirring regularly until the liquid is absorbed and looks like a fluffy mixture!
  3. Pour into a bowl and top with preferred toppings, I topped mine with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cacao nibs and a drizzle of agave syrup.
