Muesli, the German word for mixture, typically refers to a breakfast cereal of grains, dried fruit, and nuts. A hearty breakfast like this—full of heart-healthy fats, whole grains, calcium- and protein-rich yogurt, and dried fruits—will help you stay full all morning. Ingredients:
2 cups regular oats |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/3 cup wheat germ |
1/3 cup ground flaxseed |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups 1% low-fat milk |
3 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted |
3 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted |
3 tablespoons pumpkinseed kernels, toasted |
3 cups plain fat-free yogurt |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; pour milk over mixture, stirring to combine. Cover and chill 3 hours or overnight.
2. Combine nuts and pumpkinseed kernels in a small bowl. Spoon 3/4 cup oat mixture into each of 6 bowls. Top each serving with 1/2 cup yogurt; sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 tablespoons nut mixture, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
