I'm trying to get more whole grains into my daily food intake and I was wondering if anyone could help suggest some whole grain foods they use or recommend?? So far all I've been eating is brown rice. Thanks!!

whole grains: whole-wheat, whole-rye, or other whole-grain or soy bread, whole-wheat pita, roll, bagel, wraps, tortilla, English muffins. Whole-grain cereal such as oatmeal or wheatena. Whole-grain ready-to-eat cereal, granola, wheat germ, brown or wild rice, cooked millet, bulgar, couscous, kasha (buckwheat groats), barley or quinoa, whole-grain or soy pasta, cooked beans, lentils, split peas, or edamame, popcorn, whole-grain crackers or soy crisps, whole grain or soy flour.

Quinoa is delish, & a complete protein. It has a lovely snappy mouth feel, and is a great substitute for couscous or rice. I love to eat quinoa in a tabouleh salad.

I agree - quinoa is versatile and can be used in many many ways.

If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.
