A great way to wake up to a warm, healthy bowl that will keep you satiated for a long time. You can eat this bowl for any meal if you choose. "MORNING GRAIN BOWLS"

I find these Bowls are so comforting especially during the winter months. You can have fun with it and add your own ingredients making it even more nutritious. This is especially good when you are transitioning to a plant based diet as it fills that feeling of lightness that can be a bit uncomfortable if you are used to a heavy North American Diet. This is not raw but sometimes we need something warm without compromising ones health. You could sprout the grains and lightly heat this if you would like to keep it Raw.

Enjoy
