Breakfast Mueslix – A Recipe for Superior Health

Breakfast Meuslix

• 2 C dry rolled oats
• 1/4 C raw, no-salt nuts (we prefer almonds and walnuts)
• 2 T sunflower seeds
• 1 T ground flax seed
• 1/2 C dried fruit (we enjoy raisins, cranberries, and apricots)

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (we get our kids involved by mixing up a large batch; larger amounts can be mixed using the ratios listed in the recipe and then kept in the freezer for future use).
2. Cinnamon or other spices can be added to taste.
3. When served, add a generous amount of fresh fruit (we really enjoy bananas and blueberries).
4. I recommend using nut milk(s), soy milk or rice milk instead of cow milk. If you prefer a softer feel, use more liquid and let the mueslix soak for 10-15 minutes.

This is a delicious, healthier (whole-food) and less expensive choice as compared to traditional boxed cereals. The nuts are the most expensive ingredient, but you are only using a small amount. The bulk of the mueslix are the oats and the fresh fruit. At this time organic oats can be purchased for only around $0.79 per pound. Compare this to boxed cereals, which cost around $4.00 per pound and up.

You can experiment with a variety of nuts and seeds. Pumpkin seeds and pecans add a rich flavor. Try using different kinds of dried fruits and fresh fruits for a new twist.

Be creative and enjoy!
