Leftover cooked grains are a great way to start the day—and quick, too! If you don’t have leftover grains, cook up a pot of your favorite grain the day before and you’ll have the start of something good in the morning.

Morning Grain Bowls

cannellini beans (mashed)

Almond Milk

flaxseeds

turmeric (or 1 tsp ground)

ginger (grated (optional))

berries (fresh

banana (sliced)

Date Syrup ((optional))

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cooked grains, beans, Almond Milk, flaxseeds, turmeric, and ginger (if using). Mix well. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, or until warm but not too hot. Divide the grain mixture among four bowls. Top each serving with 1⁄4 cup of the berries and one-quarter of the sliced banana. Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon of Date Syrup, if desired.

Soon after the How Not to Die Cookbook came out (www.nutritionfacts.org/cookbook), fans Wendy and Eric offered to make some how-to videos of the recipes. If people like this, we will  share more over the next few months as we get ready to roll out more free recipes on the website. For years I’ve given you the science behind healthy eating and now I want to help you do it, too.

This morning grain bowl is a great alternative to sugary cereals, which I have videos coming out on soon, and can really be made with any whole grain you have on hand – quinoa, oats, millet, barley, the list goes on. Here is the full written recipe: http://bit.ly/MorningGrainBowls

Why is it such a great idea to start your day off with this? If you eat enough you may be able to check off whole grains, beans, berries, other fruit, flaxseed, and turmeric in one meal! You’re well on your way to completing the Daily Dozen Challenge (www.nutritionfacts.org/daily-dozen-challenge) all before noon!

Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/recipe-morning-grain-bowls and someone on the NutritionFacts.org team will try to answer it.

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!
