Millet Bowl Base

This millet bowl is such a good base that you can play around with and make it your own. Millet is naturally gluten-free and gentle on digestion, making it a great choice for when your body wants something calm and steady. It’s rich in minerals like magnesium, iron, and B vitamins, and has a nice amount of protein for a grain - about six grams per cooked cup. It keeps blood sugar balanced, energy stable, and the body warm and grounded, especially through the colder months.

Ingredients

1 cup millet, soaked overnight (drain before cooking)
2 cups water or coconut milk (or a mix of both)
1 tbsp ghee
Pinch of sea salt
1 tsp ACTIVIST 850+MGO Raw Mānuka Honey

Spices (optional)

A small piece of fresh ginger, sliced
1 bay leaf
½ tsp cinnamon or a small stick
1 clove
A pinch of cardamom or nutmeg

Method

Drain the soaked millet and add it to a small pot with the water (or coconut milk), ghee, salt, and any spices you’d like to include.

Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the millet is soft and creamy. Add more liquid if it thickens too much.

Stir in the teaspoon of Mānuka Honey.

Remove any whole spices before serving.
