From the mountains

It’s very  cold here, but the sky is blue and the sun shines! We even managed to ski with my dog Prince, he’s so cute jumping around and following us in the snow! 

Here is a muesli recipe for skiers;

For 1 person:

-          100 grams of dried fruits like raisins, peaches, apples, plums, apricots

-          125 ml of water

-          3 tablespoons multi-grain flakes

-          250 g quark

-          2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

-          1 tablespoon honey

-          2 tablespoons almond milk (or more to taste)

Let the dried fruits soak in the water a couple of hours.  Then roast the flakes in a pan and then mix it with the quark, orange juice, honey and almond milk and then put the dried fruits together.

For the people who aren’t skiing, here is a recipe for joggers;

For 1 person: 

-          4 tablespoons of oat flakes

-          1 tablespoon millet

-          8 chopped hazelnuts

-          1 teaspoon of soymilk powder

-          1 teaspoon of royal jelly (bio and organic stores)

-          1 teaspoon honey

-          1 cup of milk

Mix the soy-milk powder, royal jelly  and honey in the milk. And pour this on the oat flakes and hazelnuts. Eat this one hour before your workout!

Here are also other ingredients you can add to your muesli;

·         BANANAS = calms down the nerves . Because bananas contain serotonin (happy and feel good hormone). Lots of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E. Lots of kalium, fosfor, iron, magnesium, calcium, fluor and jodium. It has a very high nutritious value.

·         PEERS = good for the brains. Vit C, pectin and minerals and specially lots of fosfor. This increases our intellectual capacities and our concentration. Children who eat muesli in the morning with a peer, have a better concentration. 

·         PINEAPPLE = good for the love life. 

·         PEACHES = fresh peaches when it’s the season taste delicious with your muesli. Have a lot of vit A and C, copper and manganese. It’s lightest rheumatic pain and prevents muscle disorders and raises the body resistance. And last but not least, it is a great beauty mean because it makes the skin soft and elastic. 

·         GRAPES = when the season is there, we should benefit of this fruit in our morning muesli. Lots of vit C,A,B1, B2 and niacin. They contain a lot of dietary fibers, help the digestion. Eat the grapes with their peel and kernels; the peel works as fibers  en the kernels contain valuable substances. You should drink a lot of mineral water when you eat muesli with grapes, this helps your body to eliminate the wastes in our body. Putting grapes in your muesli also stimulates your liver, your kidney and regulates your blood circulation.

·         ELDER BERRIES (VLIERBESSEN, SUREAU) = these little black berries contain a lot of vitamin B and work blood forming. They’re also very good against neuralgia.
