Good morning everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I have posted, but my parents have been here, and while we have been eating great food, I haven't taken the time to post anything!!!
Last night I put together a whole grain cereal that cooked in the crockpot all night and was ready for us this morning. It made a complete protein because it included beans and grains. The inspiration came from a cookbook called Cooking By The Book. I did quite a few things different, but it did give me the idea!
Here's me post workout...
...and here are the beans and grains that went into the crockpot last night.
Complete Protein Whole Grain Breakfast Cereal
1/2 C. whole millet
1/2 C. whole wheat kernels
1/2 C. pearled barley
1/2 C. brown rice
1/2 C. polenta
1/2 C. white beans
1/2 C. chopped dates
1t. salt
8 C. water
Stir together all ingredients and let cook in crockpot 6-8 hours...
...and this is what you get!!
Just before eating, add any nut, dried fruit and milk of choice for a VERY yummy complete protein breakfast!!
Ok. I totally have to try this! I've heard people talk about eating beans for breakfast, but I've never done it because it didn't seem like breakfast! But if you say this is good, I will try it. I like hot cereal, and I like things that can cook overnight and be ready in the a.m. Thanks! :-)
