Actually, I made the muesli last night, I just really like alliteration. Muesli is a saviour. Basically, it is a soaked combination of grains, seeds, fruit, lemon juice and plain yogurt although Muesli can be made a number of ways. I started this muesli with a grated apple and added lemon juice, oatmeal flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds and organic plain yogurt. You simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl, give it a thorough mixing and let it soak in the fridge overnight. Soaking grains, nuts and seeds improves their digestibility.
Kids love Muesli and you can tweak the muesli to your liking. Soaking liquids could be organic plain yogurt, organic whole milk, apple or other fruit juices or milk alternatives such as rice, nut or seed milks.
You needn't include grains your muesli could consist of mostly seeds or nuts if preferred and vice versa.
Any seasonal fruit may be used, apples, pears, berries or any dried fruits like raisins.
It is very handy to be able to pull out a hearty, ready made, portable and tasty breakfast especially when on the go. Try it for your next brunch, breakfast meeting or just as a change from your regular breakfast.
Can you recommend a good yogurt? All the ones I find seem to have SO much sugar in them. Still lovin the pics!!
ReplyDeleteWe buy Organic Meadow Plain yogurt, just milk and bacteria cultures, and I add a little maple syrup or honey if I want it sweetened.
ReplyDeleteIt's sooo tasty with maple syrup, that's my fav.
