A Harvest Grain Bowl with a savory blend of Israeli-style couscous, orzo, split baby garbanzo beans, and red quinoa.

Add to the savoriness by cooking them in chicken broth (or stock) and adding dried cranberries, for sweetness, chopped pecans for that extra nutty crunch and round all that out with a bite of tangy goat cheese.
A yummy delicious option to a rice bowl meal, like this, Umami Ginger Pork Rice Bowls.
This Harvest Grain Bowl with Dried Cranberries, Pecans and Goat Cheese is delicious served alone or as a side dish.

Love the different flavors in this bowl.
I often shop at Trader Joe’s but am not familiar with their Harvest Grains blend. It seems such a good mix. I’ll look for it next time. Thanks for introducing! 🙂
Hope you are able to find the package of grains. It is 16 oz. package for 4.99 I believe. Be aware though, for some reason on Amazon the same package is 14.99 and Walmart sells 3 packages for 33.00 or 11.00 a package.
Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out on my next visit to Trader Joe’s, rather than rely on Amazon.
You’re welcome
