Budwig Breakfast Muesli with Grapefruit and Raspberries

This muesli was so good this morning it was like having pudding for breakfast.

I diced half a grapefruit and added freshly ground bronze linseed meal. Then made the Budwig cream to which I added a few drops vanilla extract,  1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon and a teaspoon of raw honey; dolloped that on the top of the grapefruit and linseed meal and topped the whole thing with some defrosted  home-grown raspberries (they are self-seeded and grow like weeds) and pinenuts.   Use this for breakfast or lunchtime pudding.

Thank you Dr Budwig… 🙂

This is a great dessert to serve if you are entertaining, it’s quick to make,  it is much lighter and healthier, and most people prefer it to the traditional cream based Eton Mess.

Variations:  From this basic recipe, the only limit is your imagination!

Vary the fruits and spices according to the seasons and what tickles your tastebuds that day.

Leave out the honey, make savoury smoothies instead – a sort of chilled vegetable soup.
