Grain bowls aren’t just
for a quick lunch or
dinner. They’re perfect
for those chilly spring
mornings when you’re
craving something
substantial without straying from
your New Year’s resolutions.
Breakfast is an opportunity to
eat something healthy, fast and
homemade to fuel you through
whatever the day has in store.
And grain bowls are packed with
delicious flavors and healthy
ingredients, mixed and matched so
you never have to have the same
bowl twice!
The trick is to cook a big batch of
unseasoned whole grains over
the weekend. So Sunday night,
set a pot simmering with quinoa,
faro, barley, bulgur wheat, millet,
brown rice, couscous, or any other
grain you like. Then, all week
long you’ve got a base on which to
assemble your breakfast bowls.
Just give them a quick stirfry, then
add veggies, fruits, garnishes,
a sauce and some protein for a
balanced combination of flavors
and textures. Try these sweet and
savory options, then
mix and match
your own!
