Gluten Free Muesli4Me sample

A week or so ago I received a sample of the new Gluten Free base from Muesli4Me mixed with a couple of my new awesome in my breakfast fruits – cranberries and figs, as I’d asked them if they were going to put out a GF base given the amount of people that have to have gluten free… such a market for them.

The Gluten Free base contains puffed millet, puffed rice, rice bran, sunflower seeds and roast buckwheat “for a delicious nutty flavor”. I should have had it with yoghurt (which I didn’t… ) which would have prevented the eeep it’s going to go soggy! issue. It tasted nice, just had to adjust the liquids accordingly with the puffs.

I also got to try their Go Crunchy base, which they list as “sweet and crunchy made from oats, almonds, pepitas, coconut, milk, sugar and vegetable oil” which it certainly tasted like! It’s a complete cereal in itself, though I’m sure the addition of your fave dried fruit would give you an added bonus… It would probably a sometimes breakfast food for me… delicious, but the sweetness induced guilt ;)

I spent the weekend in Newcastle. I didn’t fall down any large holes.

Thank you for that safety notice, Newcastle council workers.

(They should include similar ones to prevent oil spills!)

I hope this birdie didn’t get oily…

Wattle

Off to Newcastle for a quick weekend trip. Hoping my innards are good to me, as I’ve not had a good couple of days in my guts and then my head… Just over so much right now… Maybe the coastal air and warmth will do me good.

Rainbow

Spring next week.

Bring it on.

(ps Stoked with the 12 Club tee that came from Threadless today!! THIS one is my last one… I have until Tuesday to decide if I renew or not for another year of tees)

Goji Berry Antioxidant Mix

After an initial delivery mishap where the contents of the Goji Berry Antioxidant Mix were out of their container and my macadamialicious was swimming in it, I’ve now tried two mixes from mixmymuesli… yes another custom muesli company!

The Goji Berry Antioxidant Mix is a yummy sweet-tangy start to the day, with goji berries, cranberries and sultanas giving a sugar buzz…

Custom-mixed “macadmialicious”

I probably wouldn’t get macadamias again, they’re great for the mouthful they’re in, but for the rest of it, you have the rely on the other things… I think the slivered almonds might provide better nut value ratios!

The other morning I mixed the two together and got a better ratio of fruit to base for me than what’s in the Goji mix – too much dried fruit in the morning! meep!

I’ll point out the $1.99 flat delivery rate on the website and send you on your merry way :)

Aww. My dear not so little anymore sister ordered me some belated birthday presents off my Amazon Wishlist which arrived this week.

I’m sure they will be making further appearances here as I get to read them and start making cookies and living like Jesus. Now I need a cookie jar to invade!

Back to work

Back at work today. Fortunately I have 2 days of PD – feeding. Which means I don’t have to see clients. It does mean I have all my workmates who I haven’t seen in awhile for various reasons just checking that I’m well and telling me I look terrible. Thanks :p

I went for a much needed gym session today. More for my sanity, than my body. Needed. Still didn’t stop me staring at the meat at Woolies for 10 mins in a blank world of choice… meh.

Got a couple of cool parcels today:

Muesli4me samples

A couple of Muesli4Me samples, including the yet to be released Gluten Free base with some of my fave fruits and a sample of the go crunchy base. I’ll let you know how they go!

How to votes for Saturday

And my parcel for hitting Queanbeyan school this Saturday to hand out how to votes for the Australian Sex Party. Say hi if you see me there… or later in the day back on my home turf supporting GetUp! at Chapman School!
