Hola, hola, hola, Miss Marisol is back again from La Coruña, Spain, this time to give you a healthy recipe to start your day!
If you are looking for a high-energy, whole-grain food that will also help you get your daily dose of healthy fats and soluble fiber, and fuel your training and workouts, you have to try a bowl or two of Muesli. Muesli, is an inexpensive and flavorful way to get your daily grains that you can make yourself at home with organic ingredients
Muesli was developed by the Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner around 1900 to serve to patients in his hospital in Zurich. The diet that Bircher-Benner prescribed to his patients was heavy on whole-grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, and Bircher-Benner came up with idea of Muesli after being served a similar dish during a hike in the Swiss Alps
Muesli is an ideal health and fitness food because it’s a great source of sustainable energy from slow-burning, complex carbohydrates; has plenty of trace vitamins and minerals; and meets the criteria of a “whole food” because it’s minimally processed.
This Muesli recipe uses four grains as well as some dried fruit and nuts and seeds to make a very flavorful cereal.
All right, let´s move to the Ingredients and get this recipe started:
1 cup medium or thick rolled oats/oat flakes
1 cup rolled rye flakes
1 cup rolled triticale
1 cup rolled wheat flakes
1/2 cup dried dates
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or sliced/slivered almonds
1/4 cup whole flaxseeds or flaxseed meal
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup raisins
Directions
Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. Transfer to an airtight container. If storing for longer periods, consider keeping the cereal in the freezer or refrigerator.
Hot Muesli Instructions: Add 1/2 cup Muesli to 1/2 cup water, milk or soy milk and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. You can also microwave Muesli in a large bowl on high for 3-5 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Makes two servings. Add some fresh berries on top for a delicious fruity touch.
