This blend is VERY personal!
Designed for peri-, post - and menopausal women this blend is intended to make mornings a little easier.
With a combination of Australian almonds, plus pumpkin seeds, sunflower, sesame and linseeds plus shredded coconut, this blend is high in fibre, plant-based protein and polyunsaturated fats. All much needed macronutrients needed at this time of life.
This blend is delicious and nutritious, and can be enjoyed six (maybe more!) ways.
- INSTANT: Mix 1/4 cup of meno-muesli with 1/2 cup of yogurt or kefir. Stir. Serve topped with fresh seasonal fruit.
- BIRCHER: Empty packet (300 g) into a container. Mix in 1 3/4 cup of kefir of yogurt and store in fridge overnight. Next day, scoop our 1/3 cup of mixture and top with seasonal fruit. You have a ready made bircher blend for the whole week!
- PORRIDGE: Blend 1/4 cup of meno-muesli with 1/2 cup just boiled water and 1 pitted medjool date for 20 seconds in a small blender for a warm 'porridge'. Sprinkle with cinnamon and top with a teaspoon of cacao nibs.
- 50-50: In a bowl, soak 1/4 cup of meno-muesli wit 1/4 cup of five-grain porridge in 1 cup of milk, kefir or yogurt. Allow to soak and soften for about 20 minutes, then top with fresh fruit and enjoy.
- PARFAIT: Layer meno-muesli with your fave yogurt and fresh berries in a glass and serve. Meno-fique!
- SMOOTHIE: combine 1/4-1/2 cup of meno-muesli with 1 cup of water, 1 chopped frozen banana and 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a transportable container and hop to it. Perfect for when you are in a rush.
- GRANOLA: Place whole meno-muesli packet contents (300 g) and 1 cup of rolled oats into a bowl and add 1/4 cup warmed coconut oil and 1/4 cup of warmed honey/maple syrup and mix until everything is well coated and combined. Transfer to a lined baking tray and roast at 120 degrees for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely in tray before transferring to an airtight container.
- MENO-BALLS: blend 1 packet (300 g) meno-muesli with 2 cups (approx 16) pitted medjool dates for about 1 minute (don't over-process). Transfer mixture to a bowl and roll into approx 16 balls. Pop in fridge or freezer. Perfect with a cuppa or a midnight snack.
-
MENO-BARK: In a bowl, mix 1 packet (300 g) meno-muesli with 2 x 180 g packets of melted dark chocolate (or choc of your choice), sprinkle in some cinnamon and sea salt. (A few sprinkles of chili flakes can add some kick if you are into that!). Still until well combined. Transfer to a small lined baking tray and pop in freezer for about 60 minutes to firm. Once set, break into bark. Store in freezer until ready to eat. Delicious with a cuppa as an afternoon or after dinner treat.
- DESSERT TOPPING: sprinkle meno-muesli on stewed fruit, yogurt or ice-cream for a crunchy texture and nutritional hit!
Plant based protein is an excellent choice to break a fast; fibre is excellent to slow the absorption of carbohydrates; polyunsaturated fats dramatically slow any glucose sugar spike and create satiety, nullifying hunger.
Each of these six ingredients are best quality.
This blend comes in one size - 300 g.
