Delicious and nutritious. 62¢
Amaranth costs a lot more than oats ($1.99 a pound at Whole Foods), but I like to change it up and eat a wide variety. I cooked some amaranth last night and had some for breakfast this morning. Amaranth is hip and trendy, like quinoa, but I try not to let that bother me. It’s good, cheap food.
1/2 cup of cooked amaranth cost 21 cents. 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries – 28 cents. 1 cup of milk – 13 cents.
311 Calories, 13 grams of high-quality (gluten-free) protein, plenty of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and generally an excellent breakfast for 62 cents. (Nutritional analysis from NutritionData.com)
