- Vegetables: Raw leafy greens or other cooked vegetables work well. Leftover roasted vegetables are really good because they go well with just about everyone. Cover half to three-quarters of the grain with the vegetables of your choice.
- Multiple Proteins: Consider what proteins you have with the vegetables you’ve already put in the bowl. If you prefer meatless meals, try cheese, poached egg, tofu, or tempeh.
- Liquid: The sauce or dressing you add to your cereal bowl is the source of most of the flavor. Check out what’s in your closet and fridge, then mix something delicious!
