When I have a crazy work week ahead, I like to make a batch of millet to store, so I can quickly reheat on dark mornings as a hearty breakfast porridge to pair with fresh veggies and seeds.

Balancing the intense flavor of spirulina with creamy banana and blueberries is fresh, lightly sweet and delicious. A perfect way to start the day….
