Other Thoughts:
- SHORTCUT VERSION: use steamer bags of brussels sprouts. buy frozen, pre-cooked whole grain mix. buy pomegranates that are already out of the fruit.
- This recipe is inspired by the Run Fast, Eat Slow cookbook DIY grain salad. Giving genius credit, where credit is due! I'd love to see more people using it for meal prep all week - and rounding it out to be balanced in carbs, protein, and healthy fats to make it all you need for lunch.
- Farro is essentially a kernel of wheat - if you need gluten-free, sub in quinoa.
- This is super forgiving and easily adaptable. See the recipe for substitution ideas.
How-to-Use:
Athletes: All the nutrients you need to refuel mid-day. Adjust the serving to your hunger and activity level.
Healthy Eating: Everything you need in one salad. Protein. Carbs. Healthy Fats. Wow!!! Feel free to add even more veggies if you want!
Kids: My kiddos like the elements but don't necessarily appreciate it all mixed together. Separate it out or allow them to help prepare the different ingredients.
