If you're on the fence about switching to a fruit salad for breakfast, we think you might change your mind after reading this. This strategy has a lot of benefits!
Adding even just one cup of cooked whole grains to your fruit salad means that you're getting more complex carbohydrates as well as fiber, which helps control blood sugar and sustain energy.
While we love a hearty fruit salad for breakfast, it is also a thoughtful snack for your 3 p.m. slump, as the sugar in the fruit paired with the rich carbs of the whole grains will give you a longer-lasting energy boost.
Now, here's how to choose which grains to include:
For our fruit salads, we want a sturdy grain that won't go mushy right away.
Most whole grains are boiled until tender in salted water, but some, like farro and barley, can also be baked. Try toasting the grains like nuts before cooking them for a nuttier taste in the cooked grains.
Cooked whole grains should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. These grains will keep for a few days, but always use your nose to check them around day five or beyond.
