This super simple recipe doesn’t require much effort, apart from the 20 minute cooking time which is slightly reduced if you soak the amaranth overnight. Amaranth is a pseudograin and glutenfree. Experiment by topping your fluffy Amaranth with stewed or cooked fruit such a blueberries, apples and pears.
Feeling Vata: Amaranth can aggravate Vata’s so this breakfast is probably not for you, however you can experiment with adding some nice oils such as olive or coconut, to make it’s energy more heavy and lubricating. Adding chopped fresh ginger can also help to add a bit of wamth to the mix.
Feeling Pitta & Kapha: Amaranth’s light, acidifying nature is very good for Pitta and Kapha types.
