Great Grains
Why only toss greens when you can toss grains, too? And still keep your salad carb-conscious and healthy. It’s possible! Croutons, take a break—making a salad that includes whole grains is a great way to get in the nutritious fiber and filling goodness of hearty additions like farro, wild rice, barley, quinoa, or couscous.
These whole grains can be loaded with fiber, plant-based protein, and essential vitamins that help keep you full, fueled, and focused. No energy crashes, no feeling hungry later. They also add a unique texture and flavor to enhance crisp veggies and creamy dressings.
So grab some grains, warm or cold, and make yourself a grain bowl or grain salad. You got a lot to gain from good grains!
