Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups porridge oats, dry roasted
1/4 cup apricot, dried and chopped
15 -20 almonds, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup black currants
1 cup corn flakes
1/4 cup fig, dried and chopped
3 strawberries, quartered
honey
cold milk or hot milk, as required
yoghurt, as required

Steps:

In a bowl combine the roasted oats, almonds, black currants, cornflakes and apricots.
Store in an airtight container and use as required.
Dried pineapple, banana or other fruits may also be added.
To serve, take a little of the prepared muesli mixture in a bowl.
Add figs and fresh strawberries.
Stir in honey and cold/hot milk, whichever you prefer.
For those who can't have milk because they are on a vegan diet or on a weight loss or are avoiding milk and milk products, they may stir in water(this is what I do).
Those who like yoghurt may add that to the muesli mixture.
Mix well, allow to stand for 12 minutes and then eat it with a small spoon(a recent study has found that those who want to lose weight eat with smaller spoons and in smaller plates thereby fooling themselves into eating less).
Enjoy and have a good day ahead!

Tips

Use a variety of grains and seeds. This will give your muesli a more interesting texture and flavor. Some good options include oats, wheat flakes, rye flakes, barley flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
Add some dried fruit and nuts. This will add sweetness and crunch to your muesli. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, apricots, almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
Sweeten your muesli with honey or maple syrup. This will help to bind the ingredients together and make your muesli more flavorful. You can also add a pinch of salt to help balance out the sweetness.
Make a big batch of muesli and store it in an airtight container. This will save you time during the week and make it easy to enjoy a healthy breakfast every day.
Serve your muesli with milk, yogurt, or fruit juice. You can also add a dollop of honey or maple syrup to taste.
