milk

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: generic peanut butter

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free and offers a similar taste.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: stevia

Honey is a natural sweetener, while stevia is a low-calorie alternative.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, while sour cream is often less expensive.

Soak millet in water for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Drain the millet and place it in a large pot with fresh water.

Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Cook the millet until tender, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Fluff the millet with a fork to separate the grains.

In a bowl, mix together yogurt, milk, and sugar until well combined.

Add the fluffed millet to the yogurt mixture and stir gently.

Incorporate peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the millet mixture.

Serve warm or chilled, topped with fruit, honey, coconut, or nuts if desired.
