• 1 1/4 cup cooked amaranth
• 1 cup cane sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup filtered water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup apple sauce

2. *Amaranth is an ancient grain that is actually considered a complete protein because it contains all the essential amino acids our body needs. It is also a great source of vitamins and minerals — especially calcium and iron. It’s also jam-packed with fiber: one cup of uncooked amaranth has 13 grams of dietary fiber.
