Easy Breakfast Recipe ~ High Density Homemade Mix
Fresh Homemade Organic Protein Mix…..
I created a fresh, homemade, organic protein mix. I wanted something I could prepare in advance so it would always be ready to eat, especially when I was busy. Packaged foods are convenient but are often pre-made.
PERFECT FOR BUSY PEOPLE:
Busy Mornings, Snack Time, Travel, Backpacking, and Camping:
Some mornings are so busy that I can’t even find the time to grind my fresh ground protein mix to make my fresh protein shake.
I thought why not simply add water to my protein mix of nuts, seeds and organic milk powder…….it was great! I just had to write to tell you that it is totally delicious! And, of course, nutritious. I was excited after running the ingredients through a free nutritional calculator.
But don’t just take my word for it. Visit Cronometer.com, (it’s free) and enter the ingredients and amounts. You’ll be amazed at their nutritional value in this easy mix.
This healthy recipe for seeds and nuts can be enjoyed any time—breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks on the go. Since it only needs water, it’s perfect for camping, hiking, and backpacking.
