I live hominy grits but this has been so much more flavorful. And now gluten free as they eliminated the barley. I like that you add all ingredients and then bring to a boil then cover. I like to add protein to this breakfast. For three servings I add one tablespoon each of the following. And water for added serving with these hi protein adds. Not a low calorie meal but it keeps me full longer and I will have my third serving warmed up for tomorrow breakfast.Ground whole almondsWhey ProteinHemp heartsAfter boiling some I add:Chia seedsRaisinsHemp fiber proteinOil or butter, earth balance. I add water for a 3rd serving to use for the added 7 tablespoons of ingredients.
