Porridge

Millet has a lot of great nutrients. Not to mention how HEARTY it can feel to eat a hot bowl of this. It’s gluten free so for those who can’t tolerate it it’s a great grain to substitute. It’s also rich in iron and fiber!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1/3c uncooked millet

water

whole milk

1 banana, sliced

cinnamon sugar

Directions:

First put millet in a medium sized pot and pour water to cover it by at least a few inches. Boil millet on low for about 30 minutes stirring frequently. You can add more water as you go to make sure that as it thickens there’s enough water to keep it cooking. Towards the end you should have a creamy consistency. Add salt, a few splashes of whole milk and slice a whole banana. Mix it in with cinnamon sugar and you’ve got a large bowl of goodness!

Sweet Nutrition Tip:

I threw in some dried fruit and immediately my son picked up the spoon and dug in. Sometimes it’s about incorporating the foods you know they like….using some powdered peanut butter will work as well if your kid is obsessed like mine!
