Breakfast, of course it's the most important meal of the day!

Your mom was right, sorry it happens. Breakfast is soooo important and sooooo often it is skipped.
Breakfast is the meal that breaks the fast. In fact, if you don't eat breakfast you're more likely to binge throughout the day and make poor food choices? Who wants another reason to eat bad?
So, listen up! Eat your breakfast. And good news! I have a great recipe that doesn't require you lifting a finger in the morning to do so- except to put the spoon to your mouth. I actually gave this out as a Christmas present this year because the gift of health is the best gift you can give, and I pass it on to you- You're welcome!

Museli

1 1/2 cups rolled oats- you can also add rye, kamut, barley, wheat or other flakes or small soft grains like buckwheat or kasha
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1 cup unsulphured dried fruit of your choice
1 cup nuts and seeds of your choice

Take all these ingredients and store them in a mason jar, or some type of container.
The night before, grab your breakfast bowl, scoop out the desired amount of museli from the mason jar and cover generously with water.

To enhance digestibility add 1/2 tsp goat's whey powder or 1 tbsp goat's yogurt to the bowl.
Let rest over night in the fridge.
In the morning, take out and enjoy- the grains have "cooked" themselves overnight without heat- so essentially, this is a raw meal- GREAT!
If you wish you can add 2 tsp freshly ground flax seeds, or 1 tbsp flax oil to get those essential fatty acids and awaken the brain.
Top with fresh seasonal fruit, or granola- add honey or agave if desired (kids usually prefer it).
There you have it, a wholesome, zero time, raw breakfast full of protein, vitamins and minerals.
