However, being human we’re all appreciative of a little change every now and again. True, the saying goes that you shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken but in saying so today’s recipe will serve your breakfast needs just as fine, both in terms of nutritional content and also taste.

Ever wondered about a valid alternative to oats with a similar texture for your morning replenishment? A healthy carb which is as versatile and does not necessarily involve bread? Millet is the answer.
Together with protein and healthy fats, this porridge will satisfy your morning hunger with a smile and keep your appetite in check for the rest of the day.
The following ingredients were used to make 1 portion of millet porridge:
