Cold Morning Teff Bowl

We’ve had a few cool mornings in Florida and I’m loving it, but I’m so not in the mood for a smoothie.

I need something warm in a bowl with a little cinnamon and cooked fruit.

You might think I’m gonna reach for oatmeal, but not today.

Check out ancient grain teff that comes from Africa. It cooks up in just 15 minutes and is super filling and a high protein grain.

Let this grain cook while you’re in the shower and have it hot and ready to enjoy before you head out to work.
