Make your own muesli!

Buying muesli in the supermarket can be difficult if you have diet restrictions. Like for me, I can't eat sugar or wheat. Most of the muesli from the supermarket contains wheatflakes. And sugar is also a very commonly seen ingredient; the dried fruits are mostly sugarcoated. A good and yummy alternative is making your own muesli.

You can choose the ingredients that you like or that work for your diet. I chose speltflakes as a base but there are so many different options like oat-, rye-, quinoa-, amaranth- or riceflakes. You can also put different types of flakes together for some variation. After you have chosen a type of flake as your base the adding can begin! I like to add a lot of ingredients but you can also choose a theme and add only a few ingredients. The most commonly used ingredients in muesli are: dried fruit, nuts, and seeds.

For the muesli on the picture I added:
- raisins
- chopped dates
- chopped cashews
- almonds
- dried coco
- sunflower seeds

I also like to add pumpkinseeds for a good bite and superfoods like goji or incaberries but this makes it a lot more expensive. Another good alternative to add some sweetness is adding some small pieces of dried abricots. And if you can eat sugar you can ofcourse add chocholate (take a pure 85% chocolate). It takes a little time but you will be absolutely sure about what your eating. Keep the remaining ingedrients fresh so you can use them again and renew your muesli every now and then.

I soak the muesli in an unsweetened rice milk with almond taste and put it in the fridge before I go to bed. That way I can enjoy my muesli first thing in the morning. Add some fresh fruit or frozen berries and your breakfast will be absolutely delicious and healthy! ENJOY :)
