Ingredients

• 1 cup millet
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh berries
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the millet under cold water to remove any impurities and drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the water and a pinch of salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the millet to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the millet absorbs most of the liquid and becomes tender.

Step 4

Stir in the almond milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a small pinch more of salt to the millet. Mix well until everything is combined.

Step 5

Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the porridge is creamy and thick to your liking.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the millet porridge from the heat and let it sit for a minute or two to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve the porridge warm, topped with fresh berries and sliced almonds. Drizzle additional maple syrup if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy your healthy, high-protein breakfast!
