Coconut Mango Breakfast Farro Recipe

Farro and creamy coconut milk combine with sweet mango slices in this Coconut Mango Breakfast Farro recipe for the ultimate breakfast treat!

I’m not one to eat the right foods at the right time of day. I love breakfast for dinner and vice versa.

And I certainly wouldn’t pass up a chance to have dessert for breakfast!

This Coconut Mango Breakfast Farro recipe gives you all rich and comforting flavors of one of my favorite desserts – rice pudding – in a yummy breakfast bowl.

Farro is a great way to add protein to your diet. With 7g of protein per serving, farro is a yummy way to enjoy a hot breakfast and to add that extra protein.

What is farro?

Farro is a grain, and it has twice the protein and fiber as modern wheat. Along with fiber and protein, farro has Vitamin B3, which aids in metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

How to use farro

Farro is really versatile and can be used in soups, salads, stews, or cooked just like risotto. It also makes a fantastic breakfast.

For this recipe, I wanted to re-create a dessert that I like – mango sticky rice – in a better-for-you breakfast form.

I swapped out the rice for farro, used lite coconut milk in place of the full-fat version, and used agave nectar in place of granulated sugar.

The result was a lightly sweetened, creamy bowl of nutty farro that would stand up to any rich and decadent breakfast. It’s also hearty enough that you won’t be hungry five minutes after you eat.
