YOU WILL NEED:
A big bag of rolled porridge oats (1kg for about 90p from Tesco)
Pumpkin seeds
Sesame seeds
Sunflower seeds
Dried Cranberries
Raisins
Bag of Whitworths tropical mix (with coconut, papaya, apricots etc)
Dried bananas
Nuts of your choice
An apple (golden delicious are best)
Honey (basics – 99p from Tesco!)
Low fat natural Yoghurt
Orange Juice
You can basically add whatever fruits and nuts and seeds you want.
I mix all the dried ingredients together in a big tub, at a ratio of about 80% porridge to 20% fruit, seeds and nuts. I like lots of seeds but you can mix it in whatever proportions you want. The fruit normally lasts me about 3 or so packs of Muesli and I use one bag of porridge per batch.
To serve, pour in the muesli then pour a little orange juice in the bowl, enough to bind the fruits together a little and take the dryness away but not too soggy. Grate or chop about ¼ of an apple in and mix, then leave to stand for a few minutes. Then drizzle with honey and natural yoghurt to taste.
You can also make up the mix with milk in a pan to make a nice fruit and nut porridge and I believe (but I haven’t tried it) you can bake it with some honey and sugar somehow to make your own granola.
Best breakfast I have ever eaten in a long while.... gonna make this a permanent fixture going forward
