How To Make A Wheat Berry Breakfast Bowl

Because it’s low in sugar, yet big on flavor, you can try this recipe for a breakfast treat or a really healthy dessert! Here’s how you make it.

First, you’ll cook the wheat berries and coconut. To do this, bring the water and coconut milk to a low boil and then add the wheat berries, half your shredded coconut, honey, and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-35 minutes. The wheat berries will become tender and chewy as they soak up the water and subtle flavors of coconut milk.

Next, add the pieces of mango you chopped. At this point, I like to taste test to see if it needs a little more salty or sweet. Mango sweetness will vary depending on ripeness.

Then you’ll want to toast the remaining coconut. This takes literally 2 minutes and is easier than you’d think! Just pop it in a dry skillet on a low heat and watch it carefully until it’s a light golden brown.

To serve, scoop the wheat berry mixture into bowls and top with toasted coconut flakes, a little honey, and a dollop of yogurt.
