Recipe: Cherry-Almond Muesli is a handy, and tasty, energy source

Rent Computer Hardware You Need, When You Need It

Muesli is a cold rolled oats breakfast dish often augmented with nuts, seeds and fresh or dried fruits. Milk or cream come to the party, plus sometimes a little honey. This chewy, crunchy overnight muesli is dotted with dried cherries, toasted almonds, and roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds). It takes about 10 minutes to put it together, but afterwards requires 12 hours of soaking time in the refrigerator.

The recipe is from “The Everyday Athlete Cookbook” from America’s Test Kitchen ($29.95), a cookbook with recipes designed for boosting energy, performance, and recovery in readers with active lifestyles.
