Muesli

Hands up - who makes their own muesli?

Good on you, those who put their hands up! You can sit down and have a cuppa.

The rest of you - read on!

Homemade muesli has got to be the easiest-peasiest thing ever!

It requires - shopping and mixing.

That is all!

Absolutely no cooking required.

It is good for you too.

And you can customise it to your own tastes.

This is what I do.

Start with a big base of rolled oats.

Organic if you like.

Or you can mix rolled oats with other rolled grains - rolled rye, rolled triticale, rolled quinoa etc.

About 8 cups worth.

I put them straight in my big tupperware container.

Add some alternate texture.

I use rice bran.

And puffed rice.

You can get these from the supermarket.

And some coconut.

 1 cup each.

Seeds and nuts.

You can choose from - pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, chia, linseeds (seeds)

About 2 - 3 tablespoons.

Nuts - walnuts, sliced almonds, chopped hazelnuts, pecans.

3/4 cup.

And dried fruit.

I like lots!

Sultanas, raisins, currants, chopped apricots, chopped apples, dried mango (yum), cranberries, dried blueberries - you know the sort of thing.

I like a mix.

I have recently found this great dried fruit mixture - it has dates, figs, sultanas, currants and cranberries. A bit of a time saver.

Stir everything very well in your big container and see if it looks right.

Like some more fruit? Put some more in!

More nuts? You know what to do!

Then in the morning when you are still half asleep and finding it difficult to makes decisions or a cup of tea - you put about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of muesli in you bowl and add milk of your choice and or yoghurt!

Go on!
You won't regret it!
