How to Add Whole Grains to Your Family's Diet

You can easily add whole grains to your family's diet, and they won't even know it! Use these secret ways to get your family eating healthier, without hearing even one complaint.

Things You’ll Need:

Whole wheat bread
Whole grain crackers
Oats
Poppy seeds
Sesame seeds
Walnuts
Almonds
Pecans
Lentils
Couscous
Barley

Replace Single Grains with Whole Grains

Step1

Skip the standard bread crumbs when cooking meatloaf or meatballs or breading chicken. Replace the regular bread crumbs with homemade bread crumbs made with wheat bread. Or use crushed-up whole grain crackers. The foods will be healthier and more flavorful.
Step2

Replace a portion of the processed white flour you use in baking with a healthier flour. You can use a combination of flours for the best baking results. Some whole grain flours to try include whole wheat flour or rye flour.

Step3

Turn a white rice habit into a brown rice habit. Brown rice is a whole grain and is more nutritious than white rice.

Step4

Opt for whole grain pasta rather than regular pasta. More and more companies are making whole grain pastas available on the supermarket shelf. Take advantage of these whole grain foods by incorporating them into your family's daily diet.

Add Whole Grains

Step1

Add unsalted nuts to appropriate dishes. Toast some almonds for salad, or encrust a chicken with crushed almonds. Add walnuts to muffins, breads and brownies.

Step2

Add seeds including poppy seeds or sesame seeds to any homemade bread or muffins. You could even use store-bought bread dough or biscuits and roll them in healthy seeds. Seeds are fiber-rich and good for your family's health.

Add New Foods

Step1

Adding new food items to your family's diet to introduce whole grains.

Step2

Toss some barley into your family's favorite soup.

Step3

Cook flavored couscous instead of rice with your favorite stir fry dinner.

Step4

Use lentils in everything from meatloaf to soups.
