A healthy perspective recipe

#1 Post by looseplucker » Wed Mar 25, 2009 11:28 am

OK

Can't say I caught or killed any of the ingredients, but given the thread on a particularly intimate medical procedure dealt with elsewhere - here is my recipe for a muesli sort of thing.

What you can do, if you dont like milk on cereal (which I hate) is either have this with yoghurt or cut fruits of the season, or a combo of the lot. When out in the weeds the cut fruit is a good option- very filling, low GI and keeps you charged up during the day. This tends to go well with sliced banana, nectarine and apple, with a few grapes as well. Make sure you mix it all up or it can be a bit dry and you will cough and splatter someone.

You can also mix it up with butter or olive oil and, say, a beaten egg, and bake in the iron pot, or have as griddle cakes. A bit of SR flour also helps. You could also be adventurous and chuck in some diced ham or bacon - and do up a whole heap and have them as snacks throughout the day - plenty of carbs and energy - and that combo of the meat and the fruity stuff is just fine.

I always take this stuff camping/hunting and stuff. Its a change from the old eggs and bacon in the morning, but you can always have both. And the grains etc will help with the cholesterol of the fry up..

Anyhow:

2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup psyllium husk (careful with this, a bit dusty - worse than breathing in bamboo dust)
1 cup of bran (either unprocessed, oats or barley)
1/2 to 1 cup of sultanas
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup of chopped dried fruits - dates, apricots, apple
1/2 cup of dessicated coco-nut.

You can also chuck in unprocessed brown sugar (the sticky powerdery stuff, not the granules) for taste, as well as a few crushed weet-bix etc).

Get into the container and shake the bejasus out of it.

Have as indicated above.
Are you well informed or is your news limited?

My Partner gave me an apple juice with Psylliam husk in it recently with no concern to measure, I was sent straight to the toilet :roll:.
I am a part time healthy eater, generally when I am competing I look after my self :D . I get into the oats, baked beans and all other low GI foods, lately we have been looking at acid/alkali forming foods and made the switch from oats to millet poridge as it is a rare alkali grain.
It is recomended that 60% of our diet be alkali and 40% acid when you start to breakdown our diet, it is hard to find that 60% alkali.
