Week 4 Better Breakfast Idea: Muesli

This week's wholesome better breakfast was provided by Juanita.

Chef: Flip Shelton

Tailor your flavors using any combination of dried and fresh fruit and nuts. If you don't like yogurt, add more mashed banana and fruit juice. Double the recipe to make anough for several days' breakfasts - it tastes even better after a little time in the fridge.

Serves 1-2

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup apple juice (or freshly squeezed orange juice)
1/2 cup yogurt
1/8 cup currants
1/8 cup slivered almonds
a sprinkling of ground nutmeg
a sprinkling of ground cinnamon
1/2 Granny Smith apple, chopped with the skin on to serve
1/2 banana, sliced or mashed to serve
seasonal berries and mint sprigs to serve

Directions:

Combine the rolled oats, apple juice, yogurt, currants, almonds, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir together. Chill overnight (or for at least 2 hours).

To serve, stir in the chopped apple and banana, put into a bowl and garnish with seasonal berries and mint sprigs.

Suggested additions or substitutions: Seasonal berries; passionfruit pulp; sultanas (golden raisins) or dried cranberries; roughly chopped dried apricots or dried pears; chopped nuts; pepitas (pumpkin seeds).

Thanks Juanita!
