Since milk contains saturated fat, we chose to cook the high-fiber barley with almond milk instead in this heart-healthy breakfast dish.

Cook's Notes

Look for omega-3-rich flax meal alongside the flaxseeds in your natural-foods store -- or grind your own. Once opened, store flax in the refrigerator.

Love hot grains for breakfast/any meal. This is an excellent recipe! I have experimented with different grains and add ins, for all meals. I started this while living in New London, CT. you can find an amazing array of grains in New England!! I make the bowls with, fruits, veggies and spices. Apple and pumpkin pie spice blends are my faves, I might also mix in tumeric, coriander, Aleppo pepper. During the different seasons, I try to find time to dry my own fruits and veggies, I have all the season all year! Great way to eat healthy, all year!!raf
