Mike and I have developed a great filling, full of energy breakfast that we eat every day. This is the most anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, nutrient rich meal on the planet and it's not expensive to make. It’s from ingredients you can find in any grocery store and make at home ahead of time. We each eat 1/2 cup of the Muesli and about a cup of Oat Milk each day, and we also add ground flax or chia seeds or hemp seeds to the cereal before adding the milk for an extra omega-3 boost. We also top the muesli with 1 cup of fresh or thawed frozen berries. We use a combination of sweet cherries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and pomegranate ariels. Here are the recipes:
—————————————————
Super Homemade Muesli
8 cups dry rolled oats
1 oz. pecan pieces*
1 oz. walnut pieces*
4 oz. dried fruit such as raisins, goji berries, dates, currants or figs, cut into bite sized pieces if necessary
Put all ingredients into a large bowl or covered jar and stir or shake to mix thoroughly. May be stored at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.
*Substitute any raw nut/seed you like for the walnuts and/or pecans.
