Protein muesli without sugar, the healthy alternative to breakfast

Oat flakes, rich in proteins, are the most suitable cereal to be used as a base for the preparation of a good protein muesli for breakfast .

In fact, 100 g of oats contain about 16 g of protein and other important nutrients that remain in the grain even after processing, unlike other cereals.

To this you can add flakes of other cereals to a lesser extent, dried fruit with a high protein value, such as pine nuts, almonds and peanuts; there is no lack of oilseeds and, given that the choice is to avoid refined sugar as much as possible, the sweet touch will come from sultanas or, if you prefer, from nutritious dried apricots cut up on the spot.

Let's look at the basic recipe together.

Organic protein muesli: how it's done

Ingredients for about 8 servings:

> 200 g of wholegrain cereal flakes, a mix of oats for the most part, organic rice and spelled;

> 200 g of organic dried fruit to choose from among walnuts, almonds, pine nuts and peanuts;

> 50 g including hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and sesame seeds;

> 80 g between organic sultana raisins.

Preparation

Mix everything together in a large bowl and put the protein-free muesli without sugar in the pantry, into well-washed and dried jars, hermetically sealed .

The preservation of muesli depends on the expiration of the ingredients you have used, which you should always carry on a label on the bottom of the jar.

Granola and bars: variants of muesli

Although granola is often and erroneously considered to be muesli, unlike it it is more "seasoned": at the base of muesli are in fact added maple syrup or honey, dehydrated fruit (prunes, apricots, dates or dried figs), peanut butter or sunflower or olive oil; mix everything well and, later, cook in the oven for a few minutes.

Do not forget that with the advanced muesli you can also pack comfortable and healthy homemade cereal bars .
