As many of you would be aware, I buy most of my dry goods from the bulk bins at Simply Good. This means I can buy as much or as little of an item as want with no packaging and no waste. This is a topic dear to my heart and one which is being encouraged during ‘Plastic-Free July’. I use re-usable mesh bags for things like dried fruit, seeds and nuts and reuse paper bags for flours and almond meal. Once I get home they are decanted into storage jars.
These are the ingredients I use to make my gluten-free muesli. You can adjust the quantities to suit yourself.
3 cups coconut
3 cups pumpkin seeds
3 cups sunflower seeds
3 cups almonds (roughly chopped) – I use the food processor
2 cups sultanas
2 cups flaxseed meal
1/4 cup cinnamon
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
I store my mix in a large airtight container.
To serve – I use 1/4 cup of muesli and add 1 dessertspoon each of chia seeds and psyllium husk. I usually add 1 apple (grated) and 1 kiwifruit (chopped) plus a spoonful of plain yoghurt. It makes a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
