Home Made Muesli

With Christmas around the corner this is the season of giving.  By early next week the malls will be packed with people hunting for the perfect gift, this year I have decided to make the joy of giving much more meaning full by deciding to make my own edible gifts.

 Now ,making my own edible gifts does not mean I will be transforming my kitchen into a conveyor belt  and will be toiling my way before Christmas like an elf.  My edible gifts are extremely easy making easy to make and perfectly gorgeous looking which will definitely give me an edge over the overpriced store bought  ones.


My home made muesli is not only easy to make it is also extremely nutritious as it is laden with fibre derived from oatmeal, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, Flax seeds and protein from the nuts .The most important thing being it is absolutely delicious , you can have it for breakfast with a bowl of chilled milk and fruit, or as a snack in between meals.  I like it also a topping for my ice-cream Sundae.
