One of the most important meals of our day, breakfast can make or break your energy levels, not just today but also tomorrow. Boxed cereals high in sugar and refined grains create a sugar rush then energy slump. This simple, easy to make in bulk, “Nut-ola” is a family favorite and provides more protein and nutrients. Nut-ola Recipe
INGREDIENTS • 2 cups sliced raw almonds • 2 cups chopped pecans • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitos)
• ½ cup raw flax seeds • ½ cup raw honey (or maple or birch syrup) • ⅓ cup olive oil • 1 tsp Vanilla • 1 cup dried fruit (unsweetened—chopped small as needed)
• 2 cups raw cashew pieces • ½ cup raw sesame seeds

Spread the nut mixture evenly over an oiled baking tray (or lined with parchment paper if you find this easier). Toast in the oven for about 8 minutes, stir and then toast 5-8 more minutes until the nuts are turning golden. Return the nut mixture to the large bowl and stir in the dried fruit. Store covered, keeps for weeks in the refrigerator.
