Amaranth-raspberry porridge: A fruity and protein-rich breakfast for connoisseurs

Ingredients for one person :

• 50g amaranth

• 200 ml water/unsweetened almond milk

• 1-2 tablespoons vegan protein powder e.g. pea protein

• 1 tbsp sunflower seeds

• 1 tbsp freshly ground linseed

• 1 tbsp hemp seeds

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• 1 pinch of cardamom powder

• 1 tsp ghee/coconut oil

• 1 handful of fresh raspberries and a few for decoration

Preparation:

1. Heat the milk and ghee in a saucepan, add the hot washed amaranth and cook until soft for about 20 minutes.

2. Then stir in the protein powder, linseed, sunflower seeds, raspberries and spices and simmer for another 5 minutes on a low heat. Add more water if necessary to prevent anything from burning.

3. Pour into a bowl and garnish with berries and hemp seeds. Sweeten with maple syrup/date syrup if desired.

My dosha tip: Amaranth is a light, gluten-free, protein-rich grain with many nutrients. It is a pseudocereal, reduces Kapha and Pitta and has a digestive effect.
