Muesli
From Coach Parker; makes multiple servings
Ingredients:
2 Cups Raw oats
2 Cups liquid (almond, cashew, coconut, rice, soy, oat, regular milk)
optional ingredients: Toasted nuts, Fresh Fruit, Dried Fruit, Protein powder, Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice), yogurt, dark chocolate, coconut.
Directions
1.Mix the Oats and liquid of your choice the day before it will be eaten.
2. Optional to mix ingredients in the night before as well.
3. Last up to a week cover well
You have lots of options for this recipe: the only two ingredients you need is the oats and liquid if you want extra healthy you could even use water but I do not recommend that. you can also make this for the whole week in a large bowl just be sure to stir daily so the liquid covers the oats. If you do make for the whole week i suggest adding another half cup of liquid to the recipe so it does tighten up to much. As for toppings you can add almost anything you would like to this, you can also mix it all in when prepping the recipe or leave ingredients separate to change on a daily basis.
