Berry Vanilla Protein Muesli!

Muesli??  What the hay is muesli?  

I asked myself that very same question when I first saw that strange "m" word- haha.  Muesli is generally a breakfast dish based on raw oats and other ingredients, such as fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts, and may be mixed with any type of milk.  This is such a delicious and filling breakfast or snack.  You can choose to eat muesli dry, like cereal or let it soak over night. I am a soaker! It is especially convenient to prepare this the night before, since it needs some time to sit in the fridge.  The chia seeds transform the milk into a pudding-like texture, which is absolutely delicious!

This recipe is extremely versatile and can be made using any type of milk, fruit, nuts, and/or seasonings. This is my favorite muesli combination, so I hope you enjoy! 

Berry Vanilla Protein Muesli

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1-2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 3/4 cup almond milk (or any type of milk)

Toppings:

• handful of berries (Raspberries are my favorite!!) 
• Dollop of plain Greek yogurt, optional

1.  In a shallow bowl or container, mix dry ingredients together first.  Then add milk and stir altogether.

2. Let the muesli mixture sit overnight in the refrigerator, or for at least 1-2 hours. The more chia seeds added, the quicker it turns into a "pudding". 

​3.  Add your toppings before slowly
devouring.  Yummy!
