Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat
  • 1/2 cup granola I use my gluten free buckwheat granola, in the archives
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit chopped
  • 1/4 cup nuts chopped
  • 2 tbsp flaxseed powder
  • 1 apple peeled and grated

  • 1 banana sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh berries
  • Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, buckwheat, granola, flaxseed, dried fruit, nuts and grated apple.
  2. Add the apple juice, honey and enough milk to cover the mixture.
  3. Allow to soak in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften the oats and buckwheat.
  4. The next day, spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture into a bowl, add some bananas, 1/4 cup of berries etc and some yogurt. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

This will make about 3 to 3 1/2 heaping cups of muesli. I am assuming that a good 1/2 cup should feed a person, by the time you add the fresh fruit and yogurt. You will see though.
I have taken this and travelled in the car with it. Travels very well!
HERE ARE SOME OPTIONS FOR THE NUTS AND FRUIT
Almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pistachios; pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds; shredded coconut; dried apricots, cherries, cranberries etc. Add as much or little of each to make up the required amount above.
You can also add some wheat germ or oat bran if you'd like in the morning.
