delicious for breakfast or in between

This breakfast is ready in less than five minutes, is filling, and healthy and delicious. It’s also vegan if you use plant-based milk. Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan, then immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the amaranth. At this point, you can also stir in the agave syrup or other sweetener, if you like. Your porridge will then have that typical mushy, creamy consistency. Then let the whole thing stand, covered, on the turned-off stove for about two minutes. Meanwhile, you can chop your fruit if you’re using fruit that requires this step. Now pour your still-warm porridge into a bowl, top it with the fruit, nuts, and any other toppings of your choice, and you’re ready to enjoy your warm breakfast! Enjoy! Tip: I like to use oat or almond milk because they have a natural sweetness, so you don’t need to add any extra sweetener. 252 kcal per serving.
