Muesli, a Breakfast SuperStar!

Muesli by jannihowell

Finding something for breakfast that is healthy, tasty and that will sustain you until lunch, can be a tricky thing.
I have found something that has it all.  MUESLI.
My system does not do well with the standard breakfast of pancakes and eggs, or even most grain cereals.  If I eat those kinds of foods for breakfast, I am hungry and searching for something to eat by 10:00 am.  When I eat my muesli, it will be like 1:00 in the afternoon, and I’ll look at the clock and realize that, wow I should probably eat some lunch.  Now that is not typical for me.  I am usually snacking and ready for my lunch by 11:00.  I love this stuff.


It is very easy to make and tastes GREAT!

This is just the basic ingredients, but feel free to add or delete whatever you please.  I don’t really measure things out, just throw things in. 

 

In your blender or food processor, add
  • A couple handfuls of Raw, (if at all possible) Unpasteurized Almonds
  • A couple handfuls of  Walnuts
  • About a 1/2 cup of Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • A few Soft Medjool dates (with the pits removed) or pre-chopped dates work too. (the soft Medjool dates make it taste almost like caramel apples)
Pulse until the nuts are chopped well, but not too fine.  If you do it too long it will get soft and become nut butter.

 

Take the mixture out of your blender and add some of these optional ingredients.

  • Cinnamon to taste ( a couple of teaspoons)
  • Chia Seeds (which are chuck full of nutrition) check out this site for more info
  • Ground Flax Seeds are good and good for you.
  • Dried Unsweetened Coconut
  • Raw Sesame Seeds
I like to make a bunch and put it in a zip bag or container and keep it in the freezer for the rest of the family to eat during the week.
  Add a Cored Apple to your blender.
Pulse until chopped well.   

A SIMPLE cheese grater works nicely too, or you can use this handy device that is great for other fruits and veggies.

veggie chopper
Add some plain YOGURT, CHOPPED STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, CHOPPED BANANA, or whatever else your heart desires.  Top with a little agave or grade B pure maple syrup. (grade B has not been stripped of the many beneficial minerals and nutrients)  I prefer the taste of it over the grade A)

The nut mix is also good with rice or soy milk, if you want to avoid dairy.
It’s almost like dessert for breakfast.  Mix this all up and ENJOY!

    Sounds like a great idea. Approximately how much does this recipe make? and how much do you eat at one time? Seems like a single serving to me 🙂 Thanks!
