Amaranth Porridge

One of my main goals for 2015 was to introduce more protein, ancient grains and fruit to my diet on a regular basis.  Breakfast is the perfect time to practice this because protein packed meals, such as this milk-based amaranth porridge, helps you stay full, focused and ready to tackle what the day has in store for you.

Amaranth Porridge

By starting the day strong with a quick, easy and nutritious breakfast made with milk, the healthy eating routine is simplified because cravings are minimized.  Low-fat or fat-free milk can also be used in this recipe.  It not only decreases the calorie intake but delivers the same nine essential nutrients in whole milk.  Milk is one of the most affordable, high-quality protein that is readily available to us, perfect for keeping muscles, hair, bones and teeth strong and healthy.

Recently, MilkPEP has introduced their new ambassador, Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli along with the #FuertesConLeche 14-day Photo Challenge on instagram.  I invite you to share your photos following the campaign hash tag with the theme Start the New Year off “fuertes con leche” (strong with milk) between February 14 – 28th.   And on February 19th from 9-10 PM EST join MilkPEP for the #FuertesConLeche Be Your Strongest Self Bilingual Twitter Party.
