Breakfast Challenge Day 5

Congratulations for reaching Day 5 of the Breakfast Challenge. By now you have hopefully realised that a healthy alternative breakfast can be achieved and even enjoyed! All of these foods and health principles are interchangeable and I encourage you to experiment with flavours, textures and foods to create the type of start to the day that you need.
Do not be fooled by the manufacturers of boxed and processed breakfast cereals. They are promising you something that they cannot deliver. Take control of your health and diet and begin making choices based on what suits and nourishes you. Ask yourself "what makes me shine?"
Engaging in the food you eat and rejoicing in the benefits are an important part of a healthy diet.

This last recipe is the back-bone of the homemade muesli I often make. I like to store it in a large sealed jar in the fridge for freshness. It is a well balanced muesli with healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, protein and minerals. You can add more to it as your tastes and needs change. I do this often depending on what I have on hand. It is great sprinkled over yoghurt as a snack also.


Protein Super Muesli

Black Syrian Pepitas
Organic Coconut Threads
Chia seeds
Buckwheat Kernels
Goji Berries
Fine Oats

You can add more *raw nuts to this blend instead of Oats (which contain Gluten) or add cooked/soaked Quinoa flakes which are Gluten Free and very tasty.



Add some yoghurt to make it a Bircher style muesli and let it sit overnight to release natural enzymes for enhanced digestion
If you have Bee Pollen on hand add a teaspoon to your bowl for energy and protein
Use a milk alternative such as almond, rice, BONSOY, raw milk, or simply add REAL yoghurt

*cashews, macadamias, walnuts, almonds - consider soaking/activating them (see Day 1 of Challenge)

Well done! Melanie x
