A Unique Take on Cereal
Have a bowl of sweetened brown rice. Brown rice is full of energy-providing B vitamins, as well as being a great source of filling fiber. 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 and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a unique yet delicious treat. Don’t like rice? Try other cooked grains instead, such as barley, oats, buckwheat, quinoa or millet.
