It is finally feeling like summer where we are! With these higher temperatures, a steaming hot bowl of oatmeal doesn't hold much appeal in the mornings. So I was eager to try out a recipe for muesli, in which you soak oats overnight in liquid. I got this recipe from the book Eat for Health by Joel Fuhrman, and I've adapted it slightly. You could certainly substitute any fruits according to preference or what you have available.
Pomegranate Muesli
Serves 4
Serves 4
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup oats, steel cut or old fashioned (not quick or instant)
1 apple, peeled and chopped
handful of raw cashews, chopped
1/2 cup halved grapes
1/2 cup cubed cantaloupe
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
handful of dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries, currants)
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (optional)
Soak oats in pomegranate juice overnight in refrigerator. Oats will absorb the liquid.
In the morning, combine oats with remaining ingredients.
