Barley is a delicious hearty grain that is commonly used in soups and savory meals. It is high in fiber and calcium and contains less calories than brown rice and quinoa.


I love using different grains in my meals to keep it interesting. They all have such unique flavors that can be used so many different ways. This easy dish will keep you feeling full for a while!


This is a great recipe to meal prep and pack for lunches or eat as a meal. It is also a good pre or post workout meal.


I used pre-packaged chicken sausages but any other protein would make a great substitution.
