BANANA CHOCOLATE MUESLI



Banana Chocolate Muesli image

Muesli was developed around 1900 by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients in his hospital; it is now eaten as a standard breakfast dish. It is traditionally a mixture of cereals (especially rolled oats), dried fruit, and nuts, typically eaten with milk. I remember loving Bircher Muesli as a kid - it was only available in German speciality shops. It's becoming more widely available with additions of yogurt and fresh fruit. The line between "overnight oats" and "muesli" is getting kind of blurred. This is my version. Cook time is actually Chill time.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup(s) plain greek yogurt, fat-free or other
1/2 cup(s) rolled oats
1 tablespoon(s) ground flax seed
1 tablespoon(s) raisins, dark or golden
1/2 tablespoon(s) chopped nuts (i used pecans)
pinch(es) cinnamon
pinch(es) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
2/3 cup(s) milk (any kind)
1/2 tablespoon(s) honey (adjust to taste, can also use maple syrup or agave)
1 banana
1 tablespoon(s) mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Mix everything together in a small bowl or a pint canning jar.
  • Partially smash the banana as you mix the ingredients, so that there are only some visible chunks of banana.
  • Cover container and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top as garnish, if desired.
  • NOTE: I had trouble fitting everything into a pint jar, so when I served it, I added some extra milk to each bowl. A lot of the liquid gets absorbed by the oats and flax whilst sitting in the fridge.

BANANA MUESLI SMOOTHIE



Banana Muesli Smoothie image

Years ago, before the term "super foods" was a part of our lexicon, I would always add a handful of chia seeds to my whole-grain bread dough. I knew the seeds were high in protein (chia, like quinoa, has all of the essential amino acids), and in those days vegetarians were obsessed with proving that we could get enough protein from plant sources. I didn't use chia seeds in other recipes, and eventually I forgot about them. But chia seeds have made a comeback. They are not only high in protein, but higher in omega-3 fatty acids than flaxseeds. They're a great source of fiber, phytochemicals, phosphorus and manganese, and they also contain calcium. If you want a delicious smoothie that will see you through a morning workout, this is it. Soak the muesli in water or milk the night before.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup muesli
3 tablespoons low-fat milk or water
1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 small banana (4 ounces without the skin)
1 heaped teaspoon almond butter (I prefer toasted unsalted)
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup yogurt, milk, almond or rice beverage, coconut water or soy milk
1 or 2 ice cubes (optional)

Steps:

  • The night before, place the muesli in a small bowl or ramekin and cover with 3 tablespoons milk or water. Refrigerate overnight. To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous. The measure of 1 tablespoon includes the seeds and the gelatinous liquid that enrobes them after soaking.
  • Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). AddPlace the soaked muesli along with any liquid remaining in the bowl in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
