I’m sharing a fantastic new cookbook recipe today! This is a vegan muesli recipe with apple, ginger, and lots of high-protein nuts and seeds. I’ve been eating müsli since I was a kid – we always begged my omi to make it when she was around and it’s a lifelong favourite.
I pretty much stopped eating it when I cut out dairy, so this vegan version from brand-new Power Plates was calling my name! Coconut yogurt is pretty thick and rich for muesli but I tried it with an almond yogurt I usually don’t like that much for this recipe and it was great.
Even though it’s winter and I usually want a warm breakfast like potato pancakes or porridge, knowing I had this in the fridge made me excited to get out of bed. I had it as a midday snack too. Graham brings overnight oats to work every day and he loved having this apple muesli instead of his usual, so it’s going into our regular rotation now.
The shredded apple and ginger really brighten things up and make the muesli a little sweet and spicy, and there are hemp hearts and almonds mixed in for some nice texture along with the oats. It takes about two minutes to mix up and you could do a double batch and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days. It’s filling but not heavy, perfect for breakfast!
This is Gena’s newest book, and I trust her recipes completely. Gena’s a nutritionist and you can really tell in this latest book; every recipe is completely nutritionally balanced, so you get all the proteins/fats/vitamins etc. that you need from just one dish instead of having sides or extras.
