Millet with Strawberries and Apple

A little late for my first March recipe, but here it is!  This recipe is really simple.  The hardest part is waiting for the millet to cook.  This is great for breakfast and if you are limited for time in the morning, just cook the millet the night before and re-heat it with some water in the morning.

I don't usually give portion sizes or the amount of servings per recipe because I don't like to focus on numbers.  What's important is that these recipes are healthy and good for you.  But, with this one I will say that it makes 3 - 4 servings.

Millet is the most alkaline of the grains, making this dish a super health booster!  It's got protein, fiber and iron, just to name a few of it's long list of nutrients.  So, if you haven't tried millet before, give this recipe a taste.  Your body will thank you!

Millet with Strawberries and Apple

3 cups water
pinch of sea salt
1 cup millet
1 cup diced organic strawberries
1 organic apple, diced
1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Rinse the millet in fresh water before you start.  Bring water and salt to a boil and add the millet.  Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook the strawberries, apple and maple syrup on medium heat for five minutes.

When the millet is ready, add the strawberry/apple sauce and enjoy!
