Let's freeze the speeding time for a moment to enjoy this comfy healthy millet breakfast with peaches spiced with ginger!
Hi lovely, summer is running down the road, make sure you don't miss to make this healthy millet recipe for breakfast before the peach season is over!
"Why should I?" you may ask.
Because you'll be missing out something delicious, and hey you'll have to wait for almost 8 months to enjoy fresh peaches again, isn't that sad 🤔?
This millet recipe is showcasing blood peaches, millet, yogurt, ginger, and apple cider vinegar!
I googled to find out more about blood peaches, but I found they're not popular peaches!
Here in France, we refer to them as " vineyard peaches" as they grow among the vines. They are deep in red color and have a sweet-tart flavor.
If you can get some of these blood peaches, then go ahead and make this millet recipe breakfast.
Otherwise, pick peaches of your choice, for example, I added some nectarines (which are also peaches) in this millet recipe. But get well-riped peaches otherwise the crunchy peaches will not make a comfy millet breakfast.
How to cook millet
I've shown you how to cook millet the best way
Millet nutrition
- Millet is a gluten-free seed. It remains alkaline after cooking which is great for people with digestion problems.
- It has a nutty flavor when cooked, and if you haven't boarded the wagon of millet yet, I highly recommend you join me 😂.
- Seriously, millet has a lot to offer you, it's a good source of proteins, it has Omega 3, 6, and 9 ❤❤.
- Millet has a complete protein, it's superior to wheat, rice, and corn in protein content
- You'll get Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, and Magnesium. Millet has a good amount of vitamin A.
- Millet is rich in vitamins Bs, especially in niacin, folic and B6
- It's rich in dietary fiber, mostly being insoluble fiber. Do you know the benefits of insoluble fiber?
- Your gut microbiome feeds on the insoluble fiber that you can't digest thus improving your health.
- Are you watching your waistline? Then you've got a reason to start on millet as it has a moderate Glycemic Index of 55, meaning it will not raise your blood sugar.

Health benefits of yogurt & apple cider vinegar
I chose to add yogurt and apple cider vinegar for they contain bacteria (probiotics) which will benefit your microbiome.
Adding leaving bacteria through fermented food, yogurts and vinegar will help populate your gut with new micro-organisms.
This will help you improve your health and alleviate some diseases especially those caused by gut issues like auto-immune diseases, cancer, etc…
Ginger in this millet recipe
- It's a great spice, and while many will just love it for it's flagrant, ginger helps in soothing digestion issues.

Dear Githu
We have some visitors arriving to stay soon, that we thought were omnivores like ourselves. We found out recently that one of them has radically changed their diet (no gluten or dairy product) such that I could not present them with my one dish wonder with a base of bulgur wheat.
FOODHEAL to the rescue! A quick search bought me to your page, I am glad to say. With your help I was able to adapt my salad recipe to use millet as a base and then freeze for later use ... turns out, more successfully than the original ( in my humble opinion.
I shall probably always use millet for this dish and now that I have discovered your site, I cannot wait to try all the other recipes.
I will post my guests’ reactions to the dish following their departure.
Love from Nigel.
