Hot museli

Ingredients


For four people (Vegetarian)

50g porridge oats
25g brown sugar
25g flaked almonds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 orange
25g sultanas
1/2 dessert apple, cored and cut into chunks
150ml natural yogurt



Recipe


Peel the orange then carefully cut out the segments with a sharp knife removing all the pith. Chop the flesh roughly.

Combine the oats, sugar, almonds and nutmeg in a saucepan, add 100ml water and cook on full for two minutes stirring continuously. Then add the chopped orange to the oat mixture together with any remaining juice.

Add the sultanas and the apple chunks and cook on a high heat for about two minutes stirring occasionally until the fruit is hot but not too soft.

Stir in the yogurt, cover and leave to stand for one minute. Spoon into cereal bowls and serve at once topped with freshly sliced seasonal fruits.




Almonds are a good source of protein, essential for the growth and repair of the body. They also contain a range of vitamins and minerals including calcium for healthy bones

Home Made Muesli

Ingredients


For four people (Vegetarian)

115g rolled oats
30g dried apricots
30g dried prunes
30g chopped apples
1 tablespoon raisins or sultanas
1 tablespoon chopped dates
2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds, hazelnuts or pecans
2 tablespoons wheatgerm
225ml skimmed milk
4 tablespoons low fat natural yoghurt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Recipe


Mix the oats, fruits, nuts and wheatgerm together thoroughly.
Divide the muesli between four serving bowls and pour a quarter of
the milk on each serving. Put a spoonful of the yogurt on each
serving and sprinkle the cinnamon on top.

It is usually more convenient, using only the dry ingredients to make a stock of muesli. It will keep for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container.




Breakfast doesnt get any healthier than this. Natural grain, nuts and fruit will provide you with everything you need in terms of carbohydrate, fibre, vitamins, minerals and oil. Then combined with the protein in milk and yoghurt, you have a complete, balanced meal. Each bite will be a different delight!

Sophie Grigson’s Bircher Muesli


Recipe supplied by Cancer Research UK

This recipe for a fresh muesli has strayed a fair way from the Swiss Dr. Bircher-Benner’s original, but it retains, I think, the essence of it. We make it for Sunday morning breakfasts, when we have time to linger a little. It tastes delicious, and healthy and just what you need to face the day ahead.
(From Organic by Sophie Grigson and William Black, Headline 2001)

Ingredients


Serves 2 (Vegetarian)

2 heaped tablespoons rolled oats
3 tablespoons skimmed or semi-skimmed milk or water
2-3 tablespoons Greek-style yoghurt or fromage frais
1-2 tablespoons honey
1 apple, grated
Fresh fruit (1 peach or 1 banana, blackberries, strawberries or raspberries, etc.)


Recipe


Soak the oats in the milk or water for at least 20 minutes. Mix in the yoghurt, honey and grated apple. Divide between the 2 bowls and top with fresh fruit, cut up if large
