This amaranth porridge makes for a nourishing breakfast that will keep you comfortably full for hours. Amaranth is known for its impressive nutritional record, being very high in protein as well as calcium, iron and phosphorus. The addition of fragrant spices and stewed strawberries makes it almost desert-like and delicious. Slideshow: More Healthy Breakfast Recipes
I like the spice blend of vanilla and cardamom, but the ratio for the liquid is off. I soaked the Amaranth overnight, then added two cups of almond milk, and it was very soupy, not thick and creamy. I think the grains absorbed enough liquid the night before to be cooked with less.
The idea is great, but the end result is too thick and sweet for my liking. I recommend not to use any sugar in the porridge, use at maximum 1/2 cup coconut milk (remaining liquid should be skim milk or water) and reducing the amount of honey to 1 tablespoon.
