I’ve been on a Cream of Wheat kick lately. Ever since I found out a serving provides 50% of your daily iron needs. For people who don’t eat meat, it can be the single best source of iron you get, even better than spinach.
Cream of Wheat only takes a few minutes to prepare. Just put four tablespoons in a bowl with 1 cup of water and stir. Cook it in the microwave for 1-1/2 minutes. Stir again, and microwave for another 30 seconds. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and drizzle a little maple syrup over top. Break up a handful of pecans and toss them in. Cut up a fresh peach, or use a mango or kiwi for even more vitamin C content. (Non-animal sources of iron require vitamin C in order to be absorbed.) Pour a little soymilk on top. Enjoy the extra energy you’ll have throughout the day.
