Sweet Polenta Porridge Recipe

Preparation Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes
Serving Size: 1-2 Servings


Sweet Polenta Porridge is a whole new take on breakfast. Polenta is medium-ground corn that is quick cooking and full of vitamins and minerals. Since this porridge is made from a whole grain and uses the natural sweetener agave nectar, it’s a great way to start your day. Get sustained energy to make it through your mornings.


A grain is considered whole when all three parts – bran, germ and endosperm – are present. Most people know that fruits and vegetables contain beneficial phytochemicals and antioxidants, but many don't know that whole grains are often an even better source of these key nutrients.

In fact, whole grains are a good source of B vitamins, Vitamin E, magnesium, iron and fiber, as well as other valuable antioxidants not found in some fruits and vegetables. Most of the antioxidants and vitaminsare found in the germ and the bran of a grain.


3 cups filtered water
2 pinches sea salt
1 cup organic yellow polenta, washed
1/3 cup organic soy, rice, or almond milk
1 Tablespoon organic sweetener, more or less to taste
1 Tablespoon organic raisins
Dash of organic cinnamon
1 cup organic walnuts, chopped



1. Bring water and polenta to a boil in medium saucepan with sea salt.
2. Simmer, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes until polenta gets thick and creamy.
3. Stir in almond milk, raisins, cinnamon, and sweetener to polenta.
4. Stir over low flame for a few minutes to incorporate the ingredients.
5. Toast walnuts in skillet over medium flame until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the nuts. Sprinkle over porridge.
