Starting Your Morning Off Right
High-Protein Grain/Legume Breakfast Cereal Mix (1)
People who identify themselves as “protein types” should find this breakfast highly sustaining, with the
“perfect protein” combo of lentils and grains. This is a good emergency preparedness recipe you can store in
gallon freezer bags or buckets. Oat groats are just the grain before the oat is rolled.
1 C kamut (or regular wheat)
1 C millet
1 C brown rice
1 C oat groats
2 C lentils (or garbanzo beans/chickpeas)
1 C popcorn, unpopped
Mix all ingredients together, grind the mixture in a grain grinder on the coarse setting (or, if you don’t have
one, blend it in your high-powered blender until the mixture is coarsely ground). Store in the fridge.
High-Protein Grain/Legume Breakfast Cereal (2)
1 C breakfast cereal mix (recipe above)
2 C water (divided equally into two portions)
2 Tbsp. kefir (or whey, buttermilk, or yogurt)
¼ tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. honey (raw) or agave (raw, organic)
optional: handful of raisins or other dried fruit (add a bit of extra water)
optional: shredded coconut, ground flax seeds
Mix the cereal mix, 1 C of water, and kefir, and let it sit overnight or, preferably, for up to 24 hours. In the
morning, bring the other 1 C of water to a boil. Then add the soaked cereal, dried fruit, honey, and salt, and
simmer for 5 min., stirring often to avoid lumps. Sprinkle each serving with shredded coconut and ground flax
seed (optional). Serve with any kind of milk and/or a spoonful of coconut oil or butter. For a treat, serve with
cream and berries. Serves 2-4.
