Fruit Taboule * Barbie Bootcamp

Fruit Taboule

Bulgur is an excellent source of several B vitamins—thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B6, and folate—that are essential to metabolism and that help convert homocysteine into less harmful chemicals; this helps lower blood pressure and protect the heart. It also provides the minerals iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium, and it is high in fiber. The protein in bulgur is not complete. Like other grains, it lacks sufficient lysine, but the sunflower seeds make it a complete protein, making fruit taboule the perfect mini-meal!

Ingredients:
Bulger, cooked according to packaging
agave nectar
fruit of choice (we used cherries, pear and apple...peel the apple and any other thick skinned fruit)
sunflower seeds (optional - if not, have some proten on the side)

Chop the fruit, mix with bulger, stir in 2-4 tablespoons of agave nectar to taste.
