Jules Breakfast Muesli
I share with you now Jules Breakfast Muesli – my number one breakfast, and definitely a healthy way to start the day. I always soak my muesli over night in water to change the consistency to what I consider to be a more palatable ‘porridge like texture’ which is definitely easier on the digestion. I always add flaxseeds for that extra ‘constitutional’ assistance. If you do not have time to make your own muesli, use a quality, commercially prepared brand but please, watch out for those hidden ingredients such as added sugar and milk powders as they are so not necessary!

Notes
I always leave the muesli to soak overnight in either water, soya milk, rice milk, almond milk or for real milk lovers, add cows or goats milk. In the winter time I give the muesli a quick heat up in the microwave as it warm and comforting, and in the summer or warmer weather, enjoy with additional milk of your choice, topped with yoghurt and a sprinkling of cinnamon plus fresh fruit if I wish for a change. Do add your favouright seeds (pumpkin or sunflower) for an additional crunch and of course, nutritious fix.
