3. Muesli

I hate the fact that gluten free cereal is so expensive, but it took browsing through one of my favourite local shopes, Nutcase, to give me the push required... Yes, I am now making my own muesli!

The basic recipe I'm using is as follows:

75g puffed rice (I used Rude Health, but there's also Kallo)

125g GF oats (Sainsburys do GF oats! If you can't tolerate oats, use Sainsburys GF Porridge or Kelkin GF Porridge)

From this point on, it's a free-for-all! Add fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts and seeds according to your taste and preference! This is what I did:

50g sultanas
50g dried apricot

50g dried pear (from Nutcase!)

25g sunflower seeds

25g crushed pecans (also from Nutcase!)

25g flaked almonds

The best thing about making your own muesli is that you can tweak it to your own tastes, and vary it each time you make it. And I worked out the costings for the above recipe using all Sainsburys ingredients: it's about £2.40 for what I reckon is 10 bowls of cereal. And it's even cheaper if you use GF porridge, Tesco and local shops like Nutcase!
