Norishing Porridges

Teff Porridge (from Ethiopia..yummy and high in protein don't be afraid to try new grains..my kids love this)
1 cup Teff
1 cup warm water
2 TBS whey, yogurt, kefir, raw vinegar or buttermilk
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup water
Soak teff in 1 cup warm water overnight (24 hours is best).  The next day, heat 1 cup water to a boil with sea salt.  Add soaked teff. Simmer about 15 to 20 minutes on lower heat.  Serve with maple syrup, honey, stevia and milk product of choice.  I also add a touch of cinnamon.

Millet Porridge (From: GreenSmoothie Girl Detox)
1 1/2 C millet washed well (could also soak in water overnight to 24 hours see teff instructions)
4 C water
2/3 can coconut milk (not water/liquid/juice)
2 TBS real maple syrup
1 dopperful liquid stevia
1 Cup fresh orange juice (I use apple juice for the boys)
Bring water and millet to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Take off heat, remove lid, cool 10 minutes. Blend coconut milk, maple syrup, and orange juice in a blender and pour one-third the mixture over a 1 1/2 cup serving of millet. Serve hot with 2/3 pint fresh blueberries (or frozen, if fresh unavailable).
