SUPER high-fiber hot cereal with Red River. This recipe adds to the already healthy, high fiber Red River cereal and makes it taste creamier and nuttier, with ground flax seed and whole flaxseed.
Ingredients
1 1/4cupSalted WaterI find the salt is essential to bringing out the flavor of the cereal so that adding sugar is unnecessary.
1/3cupRed River cerealIf you are unable to find Red River in your area, choose another hot cereal that is high in whole grains and fiber. Red River's ingredients are Cracked Wheat; Cracked Rye; Cracked Flax; Whole Flax.
1/4cupGround Flax Seed
1tbspWhole Flax Seeds
1cupFresh or Thawed BlueberriesI add fruit to add sweetness, but it is optional.
1cupMilk
Instructions
Bring salted water to a boil and add cinnamon. Add Red River cereal and return to a boil, then reduce heat stirring often for a minute or two.
Stir in ground flax seed and whole flax seed and add blueberries.
Simmer for a few minutes -- until cereal has reached desired consistency.
Pour cereal into a bowl -- makes one large serving or two smaller servings. (I eat the full bowl myself!)
Heat milk in the cereal pot (reduces dishes!) and serve on cereal immediately.
(I always warm my milk because it makes for a sweeter, more indulgent experience.
Notes
Note: I use less water to cereal ratio than the instructions on the Red River box. You may prefer to use more water. Simply just adjust the amount of water to your preference.
