Bulgur fig hot cereal

Heart Smart Low Sodium

A tasty way to start your day with fiber! Fiber helps you stay full longer and can help regulate blood glucose levels. As seasons change, swap figs for fresh berries, bananas or both.

2 dried figs
optional toppings:* pinch of salt, sliced fresh figs, cherries, toasted almonds

  2. Portion into 2 bowls and fluff with a fork. Garnish with fresh figs, cherries and/or toasted almonds, if desired.

figs

Turn this into a quick side dish by substituting slivered almonds instead of figs. Add some no-salt seasoning for a kick of flavor.
