Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina
- 2 cups milk or plant-based milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 scoops unsweetened protein powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries or sliced banana
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, water, salt, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until just starting to simmer.
Slowly whisk in the semolina while continuously stirring to prevent any lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the semolina mixture, stirring frequently, for about 5–7 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the protein powder, making sure it is fully dissolved and integrated into the porridge.
Add honey or maple syrup to the porridge and mix well. Adjust sweetness according to taste.
Divide the porridge into bowls and top each serving with chopped nuts and fresh berries or sliced bananas.
Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
