35 AMAZING Plant-Based Whole Grain Recipes

Whole grains are good for you in so many ways. We know that nutty, crunchy taste is fabulous in breads, baked goods, and savory dishes, but did you know that you can reduce your risk of multiple chronic diseases by feasting on these whole, plant-based food superstars? That’s right! Aim for at least three servings of whole grains a day (even more depending on your energy needs based on age, gender, and activity levels) for optimal health. That means more whole grain wheat, rye, barley, oats, teff, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, amaranth, quinoa, and rice in all of your meals. This collection of 35 AMAZING Plant-Based Whole Grain Recipes, from me and some of my all-time favorite food bloggers, will inspire you to fill your plate with grains, from breakfast right on through to lunch, dinner and even dessert!
