Warm Barley Cereal with Dried Cherries

Warm Barley Cereal with Dried Cherries

Look for omega-3-rich flax meal alongside the flaxseeds in your natural-foods store -- or grind your own. Once opened, store flax in the refrigerator. Since milk contains saturated fat, we chose to cook the high-fiber barley with almond milk instead. Per serving; 320 calories; 8 g protein; 5 g fat; 63 g carb; 10 g fiber.

    • 2 tablespoons ground flax meal
