Muesli Darlingtonia

When we were in England last summer, several of the bed-and-breakfasts we stayed at offered either Alpen or their own, homemade muesli, and we became quite fond of it. When we got home, we discovered that US Alpen is Not the Same, nor is the muesli available here comparable to what we got in England. After some experimentation, I came up with my own recipe.

Combine in an airtight canister and shake to mix:

• 2 cups Quick Rolled Oats/Oatmeal, dry*
  
• 2 cups Quaker Multigrain Cereal, dry*
• *Make sure the cereals call for 1 minute cooking time, but don't cook them.
• 1/2 cup dried blueberries (or raisins, cranberries, etc.)
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds (or crushed walnuts, pecans, etc.)
• 2 Tbs. Turbinado Sugar (or brown sugar)

A 1/2 cup serving is 2 Weight Watchers points, plus another point for 1/2 cup of nonfat or lowfat milk. You can eat it cold, or microwave it (1/2 cup cereal with 1/2 cup milk) on high for 1 minute for a very quick hot cereal that is much better than quick oatmeal.
