'The Kitchn' blog put together a recipe for a tropical barley bowl that serves as a hearty morning meal. Although oatmeal is a go-to breakfast choice for many people, barley is a highly-nutritious alternative. Not only is barley tasty but it also has a higher fiber content than many other whole grains.
The delicious breakfast bowl is made from pearled barley which has been cooked in coconut milk. The coconut milk gives the grain a rich and creamy texture that is fairly similar to oatmeal. The barley is then topped with a number of tropical ingredients, including mango slices, shredded coconut and sliced almonds. The hearty breakfast is extremely high in fiber, meaning consumers are likely to stay fuller longer than if they were to eat a bowl of cereal.
The hearty barley bowl is the perfect way to warm up on a cool autumn morning.
