Simply Sweet Muesli

If you've never experienced muesli, this one is a good introduction: though filled with nutrient-dense oats, nuts and dried fruit, it's almost sinfully sweet and satisfying. DON'T substitute regular milk; the vanilla here gives an indispensable flavor. Try my recipe below, which you can whip up in a flash.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  cup rolled oats
• 1 1⁄2 cups  vanilla soymilk (if you don't have any on hand, try Sweet Vanilla Soymilk)
• 2  tablespoons golden raisins
• 1⁄4 cup  honey dates, roughly chopped
• 1  cup apple, diced
• 16  almonds (halved or crushed)
• 2  tablespoons cashew halves (I use both!) or 2  tablespoons walnuts (I use both!)

Directions

1. In a large bowl with a lid, combine the first four ingredients and stir together.
2. Refrigerate overnight.
3. When ready to eat in the morning, chop the apple and nuts and stir into the muesli. Bon Appetit!
4. This recipe is easily halved or doubled. You can also make a large batch and keep for quick breakfasts for 3-4 days. (just don't add the apple ahead of time, of course!).
