Make a big batch of this cereal on the weekend and reheat all week. Top with fruit or yogurt to add natural sweetness.

In a large saucepan, combine the barley, wheat berries, rice, oats, quinoa, flaxseed and salt. Pour water over ingredients, stir and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
