SN2N: Day 2 - What's for Breakfast?

2/1/2018

0 Comments

 
I usually have a smoothie for breakfast, and occassionally cereal. My husband prefers museli. How are we off for those and other options?
We've got about 1 1/3 boxes of Cluster Crisp cereal. The homemade container of homemade museli my husband likes is nearly empty. Time to check ingredients for that and whip up a new batch!

I've got two bags of whole-grain oats; I use one bag as the base for each batch of museli. We've also got most of a bag of quick-cook oats, good for making porridge.

Ingredients for making museli - fortunately I stocked up on these a couple of months ago. I buy most of my nuts and seeds in bulk from Gilmours, but buy linseed from the bulk bins at Pak 'n Save - I need more of the latter. 

Delicous toasted museli recipe HERE. 

My husband likes rice milk on his museli (and in cuppas, and to drink). We have a couple of packs left, and then it will be time to make our own. 

​I like almond/coconut milk in cuppas/cereal - one pack left, then will be making my own.

My breakfast most days is a smoothie - my go-to combo is a banana, some frozen berries, a couple of kale leaves from the garden (or other leafy greens) and some coconut milk. The coconut milk will run out within a couple of weeks - then I will have to make my own. Fortunately I have lots of frozen bananas and berries, and abundant kale in my greenhouse.

Ok, so breakfasts fairly sorted - will have to start making our own non-dairy milks soon, and when the next couple of batches of museli get eaten, then will have to either buy more rolled oats, or switch to porridge for a while. I'll let my husband make that choice.
