Rip's Big Bowl

This is one of my favorite breakfasts!  I don't know why, but the combination of ingredients is just spectacular.  In fact, it's so good, I have craved it mid-afternoon and had it as a snack.  I always make sure I have grapefruit when making this, but sometimes I add half a sliced banana also.  My favorite milk to serve with is unsweetened almond milk.  If you find you love Rip's Big Bowl, you can make a big batch of it to store in an airtight container (minus the fresh fruits and non-dairy milk, of course) to save prep time.

Rip's Big Bowl
(from The Engine 2 Diet Book)
1/4 c. old-fashioned oats
1/4 c. Grape-Nuts
1/4 c. bite-size shredded wheat (WF and Trader Joe's wheat squares do not contain sugar or other added ingredients)
1/4 c. Uncle Sam Cereal (can also be found at WF and TJ)
1 T. ground flaxseed
2 T. raisins
1/2 handful chopped walnuts
1 banana, sliced
1 kiwi, sliced
1 grapefruit, segments removed
3/4 c. milk substitute of choice

Toss all ingredients except the grapefruit and milk substitute into a bowl.  Add grapefruit segments to top of the bowl and squeeze in the grapefruit juice.  Top the bowl with milk substitute.  Any other fresh or frozen fruit can be added or substituted as well, such as peaches, cherries, mangoes, blueberries, or red grapes.

Happy green eats-
