6-grain hot cereal

Dietitian's tip:

Make a big batch of this cereal on the weekend and reheat all week. Top with fruit or yogurt to add natural sweetness.

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup uncooked pearl barley
2. 1/2 cup uncooked red wheat berries
3. 1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
4. 1/4 cup uncooked steel cut oats
5. 3 tablespoons uncooked quinoa
6. 2 tablespoons of flaxseed
7. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8. 1 1/2 quarts water

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the barley, wheat berries, rice, oats, quinoa, flaxseed and salt. Pour water over ingredients, stir and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
