Receipe - Make your own cereal






















I got this amazing cereal recipe from my Naturopath and thought I'd share it. I've been using it for about 1 year now and I really love it! This is almost 100% raw and VERY healthy. Many box cereals are full of preservatives but this cereal is all natural. Once you start making your own cereal, you can never go back to the box!


Immune Support Breakfast


Ingredients:

- 4 cups of rolled grains (can use oats, rye, spelt, kamut or barley) - my favorite is barley.
- 1 cup of oat bran
- 1 cup of wheat germ
- 1 cup of seeds (ex. pumpkin seeds or sunflower)
- 1 cup raw, unsalted nuts, ground (ex. walnuts or almonds)
- 1/2 cup of raisins (sultana)

Mix everything together and store in fridge (makes about 10 cereal servings)

Directions:

Let cereal soak overnight in milk (any type, including soy/rice/almond milk). In the morning, add cinnamon for taste.

OPTIONAL - Add 1 teaspoon of ground flax seeds (store flax seeds in the freezer). I also love adding frozen blueberries overnight or fresh blueberries in the morning.

*Health tip - many people don't realize this but cinnamon is very healthy for you! One great thing about it is that it helps to regulate blood sugar.
