Barley is another great breakfast
ingredient that can help keep your blood sugar level under control.
Plus, it has twice the protein and almost half the calories that oats
have, making it one of the best breakfast foods.
A 2016 study carried out at Lund University in Sweden shows that barley
can rapidly improve people's health by reducing blood sugar levels and
the risk of diabetes. This is down to a mixture of dietary fibers found
in barley, which can also help reduce your appetite as well as
cardiovascular disease risk.
To make barley for breakfast:
1. Soak a cup of pearl barley in water overnight.
2. The next morning, strain the barley and add it to a saucepan with 2-3
cups of water.
3. Bring it to the boil, then cover and reduce the heat. Let it simmer
for 20 minutes until the grains are tender and most of the liquid has
been absorbed.
4. Add a bit of raw honey and nuts to the cooked barley.
OR once cooled, you may add some buttermilk, salt and pepper.
