You can do a week’s worth of grinding cereal/nuts mixture and keep it refrigerated so in the morning it will take just a few instants to mix the yogurt with the oil (have no fear, you will not taste the oil in the final creamy blend), add the lemon juice, honey, and your daily dose of cereal/nut mixture— et voilà. I use Post Shredded Wheat Original made from whole grain wheat, adding to this recipe a “health-friendly” mix of 0 grams sugar, 0 grams sodium, and 6 grams of fiber per cup (and I use only 2 tablespoons per serving).
The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook by Mireille Guiliano; Atria (2010)
| 4 to 6 tablespoons yogurt (about 1/2 cup) | 1 teaspoon honey | |
| 1 teaspoon flaxseed oil | 2 tablespoons finely ground cereal (with zero sugar such as Post Shredded Wheat) | |
| 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (Meyer or organic preferably) | 2 teaspoons finely ground walnuts |
Put the yogurt in a bowl and add the oil. Mix well. Add the lemon juice and mix well. Add the honey and mix well. (It is important to add each ingredient one at a time and mix well to obtain a homogeneous preparation.)
Finely grind the cereal and walnuts (I use a small food processor). Add to the yogurt mixture and mix well. Serve at once.
