This is how you can make this creamy coconut millet porridge
The main ingredient for this amazing creamy coconut millet porridge is millet, obviously.
You can add whatever flavors into your porridge, but in this recipe, I used coconut. In the combination of millet, it creates such a delicious creamy texture and taste.
The first step is to wash your millet a few times. Millet might be bitter sometimes, so it is better to wash it clean until the water is clear.
The next step is to prepare a pot with all of your ingredients, besides vanilla. I love to add vanilla at the very end, so the flavor is stronger a better.
Cook your millet in soy milk, add in dates as a natural sweetener, and coconut.
Another very amazing thing I love about millet is cooking time. Millet is done in 10 minutes, which is awesome! You can have a wonderful breakfast done in a few minutes. How awesome is that?
Bring the porridge to the boil, cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes.
The next step is totally optional, but I love to have a creamy porridge, so I used a hand blender and blended the porridge until creamy and fluffy.
The last step is to add vanilla and we are basically done.
Serve this creamy coconut millet porridge with fresh fruit and shredded coconut on top. Enjoy.

It looks so yummy! What are the little orange berry/fruit that is on the millet along with the strawberries and raspberries?
Thank you ♥ It's called seabuckthorn or seaberry. These berries are super sour but very healthy for us. I love to eat them with porridge or smoothies.
Neat! I’ll have to hunt some down, it sounds like a perfect addition!
