Grain bowls in the morning provide a large portion of fiber to your day that helps keep you full much longer. Fiber keeps you full, slows digestion and keeps you regular!
Read Before Making a Grain Bowl
- Try to use a saucepan and cook them on the stove top for best results, but you can also use a microwave as well.
- A pinch of salt (not much at all!) goes a long way when building a sweet tasting grain bowl
- If you are going to sweeten your bowl, try to use natural sources like maple syrup and honey.
- if using oats, rolled oats and oat bran are great choices as they are quick to make!
- Breakfast time grain bowls are a super healthy choice, so do not be afraid to mess with portion sizes of ingredients to get to a taste you like!

1. Bases (elija al menos 1)
Serving Size: 1/2 cup of dried grain
Rolled Oats
Quinoa
1. Liquid (Pick 1)
If you are looking for a creamier bowl, then choose milk or a milk alternative, but if you do not want to wait longer, then use water.
Serving Size: 1 cup
Almond Milk
Oat Milk
Soy Milk
Water
2. Add-ins (Pick At Least 1)
Your add-ins are going to be what gives these bowls the flavor, so consider what you are in the mood for. Some of our favorites include berries, yogurt, and nut butters
Note: We always recommend throwing in at least half a banana, as it adds a bunch of natural, healthy sweetness to the smoothie
Fruit:
Buy frozen fruit, or freeze fruit going bad. It is cheaper and lasts longer. Also, the frozen berries will melt in the warm bowl adding a lot of great flavor to the oats and cooling them down quickly for quick consumption.
