Healthy Breakfasts All Week Long, Baby!
I’ll let you in on a “secret”….. eating healthy is a lot easier than people think. It’s really just a matter of finding a handful of recipes that you like – and making them in bulk, such that you have several meals for the week.
This Mediterranean-influenced Bulgur-Wheat bowl fits the bill! Not only is it packed full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties (and good fats!), but it’s clean, delicious, filling and SO damn easy to make & store for a week of healthy heat-and-eat breakfasts!
And of course there is NO Added-Sugar which means if you’re on my California Sugar Cleanse – this is a YES Recipe!!!
The bulgur gets infused-flavors from coconut milk, ground cinnamon and vanilla, before stirring in frozen cherries, chopped almonds and fresh mint! Pour a splash of almond milk over your bowl, and enjoy a seriously yummy, healthy breakfast that will keep you full for a few hours.
Let’s Make it Together!
Use this recipe as a template from which to experiment with different fruits, nuts, numilks and fresh herbs. You can even swap in Rolled Oats if you don’t have Bulgar wheat. Try Blueberries, strawberries & fresh basil for a twist!
