This easy, no-cook “summer porridge” has make-ahead convenience and is packed with nutrition to get your day off to a healthy start. Make it in individual pint sized mason jars for a perfect serving size and an easy grab-and-go breakfast straight from the fridge (it’s eaten cold). Take it along to work or anywhere. Great to serve on a breakfast or brunch buffet. High in protein & fiber, low in fat & sugar, and gluten free. Follows Weston Price practices in reduction of phytic acid and is a traditional food from England.
