Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup organic amaranth seeds
  • 2 scoops high-quality collagen peptides (bovine or marine)
  • 3 cups filtered water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamo
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or date paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • Optional: Zest of one organic orange

Method
 

  1. Rinse the amaranth seeds thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water.
  2. Place the rinsed seeds into a saucepan over medium heat. Toast the damp seeds for 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
  3. Pour in your water or plant-based milk and add the sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
  4. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. While the grain cooks, whisk the collagen peptides with two tablespoons of warm water in a small bowl to create a smooth liquid.
  6. Once the amaranth is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the collagen liquid, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste.
  7. Let sit covered for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Fluff the mixture with a fork before serving warm.

Notes

Use leftover water from soaking the grains to water houseplants. For a thinner consistency, add extra milk during the last five minutes of cooking.
