Garri and Milk is a simple, quick meal or snack enjoyed in many West African households. Garri, made from fermented and grated cassava, is a rich source of carbohydrates, providing energy. When combined with powdered or liquid milk, it introduces protein, calcium, and essential vitamins such as B12, depending on the type of milk used. This dish is often sweetened with sugar and can be paired with groundnuts for added texture and nutrients, such as healthy fats and additional protein. A staple of West African cuisine, Garri and Milk is celebrated for its affordability and quick preparation. While it offers energy and some essential nutrients, it is best consumed in moderation, as excessive sugar and refined carbohydrates can lead to weight gain and blood sugar spikes. Enhancing it with fresh fruits or nuts can boost its nutritional profile, making it a more balanced dietary option.
