A Different Kind of "Instant Breakfast"



It's a fast-paced world out-there, and admittedly it's getting harder to make a healthy, delicious breakfast that satisfies. But Patricia Green, who co-authored Grain Power says there's a very easy way to start your day. Patricia told Tonia's Kitchen about The Mason Jar Ancient Grain Breakfast.  She takes a 1/4 cup of ancient grain mix and puts it in the bottom of a 500ml mason jar.  She then adds 3/4 cup of boiling hot water, seals the jar and refrigerates it overnight.  The next morning, shake it all up and voila!  You have a delicious, hearty, ready to eat breakfast that's sure to satisfy.  Add sweeteners like sugar or maple syrup if you want, and enjoy.  Not only is it a great meal, it's also very economical, as you can make several jars for several days all at once!
