It goes without saying that most cereal is either full of sugar or has GM ingredients so we avoid that isle in the store like the plague. We are not a cereal family. Until now, that is. This "Rip Bowl" from 'The Engine 2 Diet' is a big fav now in this household! We're all loving it and especially the little one who wants to be a firefighter and is quite obsessed with Rip Esselstyn. There are all sorts of fruit variations to this that are equally as good (blueberries, kiwi, mango, strawberries, any other berries, etc.).
Ingredients:
1/4 cup raw old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup Grape Nuts or Ezekiel brand equivalent (we haven't used yet- still delish)
1/4 cup bite-size shredded wheat
1/4 cup Uncle Sam cereal
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons walnuts
1 banana, sliced
1 kiwi, sliced
Segments of one grapefruit and juice (We never did this, still turned out good)
¾ cup milk substitute of choice (I think almond is best!)
Instructions:
Toss all ingredients except the grapefruit and milk substitute into a bowl.
After cutting grapefruit in half, use a small, sharp knife to remove the segments. Add segments to the top of the bowl and squeeze in the juice.
Top the bowl with milk substitute.
Variations:
In a pinch, simply add water (the fruits blend with the water and give it a sweet taste)
