Wheat-free Muesli

Make sure you buy dried fruit without preservatives. You can substitute any of the dried fruit with your favourites, depending on what you have available. Whisk & Pin brand of preservative free dried fruit are wonderful and you can look up their website for stockists (see our links page). Buy the smaller paler puffed rice as they have lots of crunch to offer. Have with soy or protein-enriched rice milk and some fresh berries scattered on top. You can also add a good dollop of yoghurt if you tolerate dairy food. To make a larger quantity, you can just double or triple the recipe.

1/3 cup shredded coconut
2 cups puffed rice
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups puffed millet
1 cup rice bran or gluten-free rice bran flakes
1/2 cup pumpkin seed kernels
1/3 cup dried currants
1/4 cup thinly sliced dried apricots or figs (preservative free)
