I had a request for Healthy Recipes for breastfeeding moms so thats what we will do today! ( please LIKE if you see this since FB has limited my audience) Popped Amaranth Nut And Fruit Cereal Amaranth, a South American grain, is rich in iron and naturally gluten free. It can be popped on a stovetop like popcorn and when mixed with vitamin and antioxidant-rich fruits—including blueberries, cranberries, apples and cherries—makes for a delicious and filling breakfast for nursing moms. Ingredients: ½ cup amaranth ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ¼ teaspoon ground ginger ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup pecans, chopped ⅓ cup dried cherries or raisins ½ cup fresh blueberries 1 medium apple, chopped 2 cups milk 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut Directions: 1. Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. When a drop of water energetically sizzles in the pan, add 1 tablespoon amaranth, cover with a lid and shake the pan as soon as the grains begin to pop vigorously. Keep the pan on the burner until most of the amaranth has popped, about 10 to 15 seconds. (If amaranth burns, shake the pan about 1-inch above the burner when the popping begins.) Remove from the pan and place in a large bowl. Repeat with remaining grain. 2. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Divide popped amaranth among serving bowls and top with equal amounts of spice mixture, pecans, cherries, blueberries and apple. Pour in milk and top each bowl with maple syrup and coconut.
