8
Dump it into the bowl with the oatmeal.
-
9
Measure the brown rice into the blender.
-
10
Process it until powdery.
-
11
The rice will take longer processing than the oatmeal or barley.
-
12
It will be a tiny bit coarser after blending too, that is alright.

When it is as powdery as you can get it, dump it into the bowl with the other grains.

This is a very healthy and hearty way to start the morning.

27
I like this cereal much better than most other mixed grain cereals I have tried.
-
28
The rice gives the cooked cereal a nice chewy texture which contrasts nicely with the smoothness of the whole wheat flour and cornmeal.
-
29
If you don't have quick barley, you can replace it with more oatmeal, or even wheat germ, or wheat bran.
-

I've also thought that Rye Flour might make a nice addition, although I have never tried it.
-

This cereal is an excellent source of B vitamins and fiber.
