This week our recipe is all about breakfast and giving you the best start to the day so that you can support your menopause symptoms better. This Easy Homemade Muesli Recipe is an excellent source of fibre and a gluten-free, slow energy-release food to start your day. This recipe is one of my own. I started to make Muesli this way so that I knew exactly which ingredients I had added and I can easily adapt it to suit my dietary needs. The dried fruits, seeds and nuts help add many micronutrients. I like to add cranberries to help guard against urinary tract infections.
Ingredients
Rolled oats
5 tablespoons of different dried fruit. I like raisins, cranberries, dates, chopped apricots and prunes (prunes are great for vitamin K and bone health).
5 tablespoons of different nuts and seeds. I like chopped hazelnuts, flaked almonds, chopped Brazil nuts, chopped walnuts, and linseed.
Method
Into a large air-tight container add 10 heaped tablespoons of oats.
Add the dried fruits, nuts and seeds.
Shake up the contents, you’re done!
Eat with yoghurt, milk or a little of both.
Add a little honey for sweetness.
Use as the base ingredients for the most delicious flapjacks!
Going out for the day? Use 2 empty jam jars, put muesli in one and a few spoons of yoghurt in another. Instant take-out breakfast/snack! Just remember a spoon!
