Introducing Freekeh to My Family

Family Nutrition

Freekeh is young green wheat that has been toasted and cracked. It's a healthy whole grain food that has been around for a very long time: in fact its called an 'ancient grain'!  It's packed full of fiber, protein and nutrients!  But, as usual, just because it is good for you, doesn't mean my family will eat it... So, I had to introduce it to them...

1st, I added it as a Smoothie Booster!

Freekeh blends really well in a smoothie!  It gives it a punch of extra fiber and protein that you need!  Along with protein powder, bananas, blueberries - I added 2 Tablespoons of Freekeh!

2nd, I added Freekeh into our Favorites!

By simply adding a 1/2 cup of Freekeh and 1 cup additional water to our favorite rice mix, I powered up our side dishes!

And once they realized it was great to eat, we just substituted it for rice altogether!


Trying something new isn't always easy, but it can really be worth it!  I encourage you to try it with your family!

Let me on how you would introduce Freekeh into your family, and you will have the chance to win a free bag of Freekeh!
