Enjoy a bowl of sweetened brown rice
Consider this healthy breakfast idea a twist on prepared cereal! Brown rice is full of energy-boosting B vitamins, as well as a great source of filling fibre. Cook the rice the night before, then in the morning, put it in a bowl with a spoonful of honey, a handful of raisins, a cut-up apple, a splash of low-fat milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a unique yet delicious treat. Not a fan of brown rice? Try any of the cooking grains: barley, rye, red wheat, oats, buckwheat, quinoa or millet.
