Millet Porridge With Cinnamon-Cranberry Apples

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) millet
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup (240g) apple juice
  • 1 5.3-oz. (143g) container 0% Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops whey protein powder (unflavored)
  • 1 large apple, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (40g) dried cranberries

Rinse the millet in a fine-mesh strainer and drain well. Place in a small pot and add 1 cup water and the apple juice. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the millet is tender and beginning to break down.

Remove from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and protein powder until a thick, creamy porridge forms. Keep warm.

In a small bowl, combine the apple, dried cranberries, and cinnamon and toss to coat.

Serve the porridge topped with the apple mixture.
