Raw muesli
This is an old fave that I revisited recently. With the cold and taking on a more intense work out regime, I just wanted something very sweet heavy, which is unusual for me these days.
I thought of a raw muesli treat after my usual berry-hemp-spinach post-exercise smoothie.
I chopped up hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds and mixed them up in a box. I soaked a cup of this mix overnight so the next day I could eat it after my morning workout.
In the beginning of my raw journey, I didn’t know I had to soak my nuts and after a few attempts at raw muesli, my jaws ached from the chewing and I felt thirsty and had lackluster energy.
But a raw muesli with soaked nuts and seeds was a very pleasant experience.
I added cubed dried papaya slices, dried blueberries, a chopped date, one banana, coconut flakes and walnut milk to the muesli.
It was very satisfying and delicious.
Oh, i love this. I think I’ll make this for breakfast tomorrow.
It’s one of my comfort foods in winter but admittedly I don’t have it as often because it can be quite heavy in my stomach. Can’t go wrong with raw muesli — it can take ANY combo of nuts/fruit/dried fruit.
Can you share what liquid you used to soak your muesli in?
Did you leave overnight in the fridge?
I just used water and yes I soaked my nuts in the fridge.
Sorry, let me make my question clear. How long did you soak your muesli for?
I soaked my nuts for about 12 hours — overnight in the fridge, but most nuts you only need to soak them for a eight hours. Pine nuts need only an hour.
