Almond Banana Wheatberry Cereal

A delicious and healthy way to start the day! Wheatberries are an ancient grain, high in fiber and protein, and have a nutty, chewy texture. Almond Banana Wheatberry Cereal is a perfect meal or snack for those with a sore mouth or throat or when nauseous, fatigued or just busy. A full pot can be made and kept in the refrigerator for the week ahead. This cereal is also very versatile; it can be served hot, cold, or at room temperature and you can add any toppings that suit your tastes and preferences.
