Millet with Pineapple, Coconut, and Flaxseed
Serves 4After falling in love with millet last week when I made this Millet Bowl with Black Beans and Vegetables for dinner, I was thrilled to discover that there was a breakfast recipe within the archives for my food detox that also uses millet. This was yumtastic! I used milled flaxseed instead of whole, and also opted to use So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage in place of soy milk. Lastly, I happened to have some unsalted macadamia nuts laying around, so I chopped up just a few to sprinkle on top after I took the photo. They added just the perfect amount of crunch. This is a hearty breakfast without being heavy. It got my morning started off right!

6 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
