My husband in all his cuteness for the past several mornings has gotten up craving cereal. We try to avoid cereal in general due to the thousands of ingredients, processed junk, HFCS, other sugars, etc. There are a few that we would recommend, but geez-they are just so expensive. One of our favorites is Ezekiel cereal, but it just isn't worth the money in my opinion except when it is on sale so recently we have been making our homemade muesli. I don't know about you, but my husband and I are both the kind of people that wake up really hungry and need to eat almost immediately. I love muesli because you can throw it together quickly and it has very little sugar and a lot of nutritional benefits! You can add in or take out pretty much anything you want-there is a lot of room to be creative here...
Homemade Muesli:
3 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cut almonds
1/4 cup raisons
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Mix it all together and eat it hot or cold with some almond milk (or your choice of milk).
Other ideas: You can toast it up in the oven for a few minutes with some honey or maple syrup; add cinnamon; add in your favorite dried fruits, nuts, etc.; mash up a banana to add an element of fresh as well
Muesli tends to taste better when it has soaked in the liquid for a bit, but I eat it right away! :) Thanks mom for the recipe and idea.
