INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1/2 cup Millet (uncooked)
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups Strawberries (fresh or frozen, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the almond milk, millet, maple syrup, and vanilla. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
2. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let it simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the millet is tender and reaches your desired consistency. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Meanwhile, in a second pot over medium-low heat, add the strawberries and water. Heat the strawberries until they release their juices, then let them simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the pot with the strawberries from heat and stir in the chia seeds. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
5. Divide the cooked millet porridge between serving bowls.
6. Top the porridge with the strawberry sauce.
7. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Millet Porridge with Strawberry Chia Sauce!

NOTES:

• Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days. To reheat, use the microwave or stovetop with additional almond milk.
• The serving size for one serving is approximately 1 cup of porridge.
• For a nut-free version, you can use a nut-free milk such as oat milk or rice milk instead of almond milk.
• If you prefer a sweeter sauce, sweeten the strawberry sauce with maple syrup or your preferred sweetener.
• Get creative with additional toppings such as maple syrup, chopped nuts, or fresh berries to enhance the flavor and presentation.
• If strawberries are not available, you can use blueberries or raspberries as a tasty alternative.
