Millet & Milkshake Breakfast

Milkshake:  2T chia seed, 2T buckwheat, 2T ground almonds + the contents of a pro-biotic capsule soaked in a cup and a half of soymilk or water for 10-15 min. I sometimes combine these in a blender, capped with the lid overnight in the refrigerator. Soaked chia seed makes the milk shake thicker. Blend this with 2T Costco's Plant Protein Powder or 1T cocoa pwdr with  and a half banana. If you use water or skip the protein pwdr, you'll need the banana!

Millet: Boil 1 c water, add ¼ c millet + ⅛ t. salt per person. Cook over low heat till millet is done, about 20 min. Top the Millet with Ground Sesame Seed and Flax Seed, Mixed Raw Nuts, Costco's Frozen Three Berries, Cut Apples, 2T Hemp Seed and perhaps some Unsweetened Shredded Coconut. 

Mixed Raw Nuts: We buy bags of raw nuts: almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, pistachios also dried cranberries, toss these together and divide into sandwich ziplock bags and store in the freezer, so they are always handy for breakfast or a snack.

Vita Mix

The Vita Mix was one of our first purchases after our small house in town sold 12 years ago. We've kept up the warrantee and the same unit is still serving us sometimes three times a day!
We grind almonds, grain for bread, salad dressings, smoothies and then blend soapy water to clean it:).

One tip: the dishwasher is not a good place for the blender container and don't submerge the base of the container in water either-- we had to replace some parts after doing that.

We make green drinks too, with unsweetened canned pineapple and fresh spinach. I've heard parsley or mint is fun to add.

You can use the wet or dry blade container to grind almonds, but not more than about two cups at a time. If you want to make almond butter, you will want to roast them or add a couple tablespoons of oil after they are ground to powder. For this we use grape seed oil.

Jodavid discovered something that helps reduce the noise. He pops popcorn in the pantry with the door closed. Now we do this with our Vita Mix too.
