Dave's Breakfast Cereal and a Bottle

I am doing a thing called the Daily Health Challenge and today was about eating nuts.  I mentioned I have been eating a home made cereal and lots of people wanted the recipe.  Since its long I decided to add it here.  My husband Dave came up with the recipe. The goal was a cereal with lots of fiber and not much sugar.

4 parts Oak flakes
4 parts Wheat flakes
4 parts Rye flakes
1/2 parts Sunflower seeds
1 part Walnut pieces
1 part Pecan pieces
1 part Almond pieces
1 to 1.5 parts dried Cranberries

If you need to sweeten in add 2 parts store bought granola or a 1/3 part sugar/sweetener

If you use a Tablespoon for the part above you will have one serving.

We toast the oat, wheat and rye flakes @ 350 for 20 min. It is not required but seems to add flavor.
We mix the toasted grain together and then add the other ingredients. We just mix up a bowl daily but you could make a bulk package easily.

When you first start this you might find it pretty bland. I use the recipe as above but Dave omits the granola and adds date sugar.  I sometimes add a banana for flavor.

This cereal really gives you lots of fiber and you may find you feel better by eating it.  Enjoy.

Oh here is a little zentangle I did last night. Funny how I didn't notice it was crooked until I took a picture of it. Ok perhaps this bottle was made by a beginning potter.  I think I will think of it that way.
