DIY Muesli

Up to a few weeks ago, I was paying your typically over-priced amount of $4-5 per pound of muesli at the North Coast Co-Op, but I am proud to announce that as of now, I have finally switched over! Making muesli is amazingly easy and the best part about it is that it can be customized according to taste, allergens, and especially what's available in your pantry.

I've included my most recent muesli recipe here. It's not the best picture I've got, but hey, it was what I was having for breakfast.


MICHELLE'S MORNING MUESLI
2-3 lbs (4-6 cups) mixture of rolled barley, oats, rye, and kamut
2 cups of crispy rice
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of dried date pieces
1/4 cup of dried blueberries
1/2 cup of almonds
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds

Dry blend rolled grains in a food processor to a coarse texture (take care not to over-blend, otherwise it becomes flour). Repeat with almonds. Pour all ingredients into a bag or storage container and shake to mix. Add fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, and bananas are my favorite) and pour over rice or nut milk to serve. Enjoy!
