Breakfast Muesli

This is one of my favorite, easy to throw together, nutritious breakfasts! It's colorful and tasty all at the same time. It's one of those recipes that you can take camping, make ahead of time, or throw together quickly when you're in a hurry.

Ingredients:

5 cup rolled oats

1 can crushed pineapple or tidbits in 100% juice, with juice

1 can mandarin oranges

3-4 C fresh, frozen, or canned fruit, any kind*

1-2 C or more 100% juice - any flavor**

Chopped nuts, optional when serving

Instructions:

Mix together the oats, fruit, and juice. Let sit for 30 minutes before serving or eat right away. You can make this ahead and put it in the refrigerator overnight.

Optional: Top with nuts when you are ready to eat.

This recipe is very versatile! Really any fruit, any juice, any nuts. Add anything, subtract anything. If you like it mushier, then you just add a bit more juice.

Notes:

*We love sliced grapes, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.

** We love using Bolthouse Farms drinks, and we have also used soy milk.

Potato Carrot Cheese

Everyone needs to try this recipe. I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think. I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients. It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots. It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna. This is so very yummy!
