my breakfast episode II—homemade granola and my new-found yoghurt mixes

i eat yoghurt for breakfast (almost) everyday.
the first few weeks in germany, i was addicted to berries and lemon yoghurt. i believe that europe has the best yoghurt in the world. everything i tried was ten times better than yoghurt in thailand (and even new zealand) but rather a bit too sweet. i always add drops of lemonade in my yoghurt (my love for sourness)


the first two are my favourites (esp. all the berries and lemon flavours!), the last one is a little too creamy

then i realised i consumed a lot of sugar through those flavoured yoghurts, so i switch to this natural yoghurt.


until lately, i realised (again) that i eat too much cow milk. i once had sinus infection and my doctor told me to stop eating dairy products. (but i ended up in the surgery room anyway) dairy products stimulate sinus infection (and state of being allergy to something in general) it doesn't mean i can't consume any dairy products at all, but not too much like everyday for breakfast. so now i eat soya yoghurt instead.


and then i started making my own homemade granola!
a lot yummier and healthier. and it's super easy to make.
here's all you need:

too bad i don't have some rolled oats in hands to take a photo :( 

rolled oats
roasted nuts (i used walnut, hazelnut and almond)
seeds (pumpkin & sunflower, i'd love to add sesame next time)
dried fruits  (sultanas, raisins and cranberries. last time i added some apple chips as well)

how to roast nuts:
in oven, 170 celsius degrees for around 10 minutes (i needed more for hazelnut) stir evey 5-7 minutes until they smell good. DON'T BURN THEM!
(do the same to rolled oats but it'll take around 20 minutes)

then just chopped the nuts roughly and mix everything. i added cinnamon (yeah,
i'm a cinnamon lover) stored in tight container. or you can just prepare everything but do not mix them yet, mix just before you eat them. some days you might want only nuts or oats or seeds.


sometimes i add these things into my yoghurt


maple syrup, cinnamon and dark chocolate paste (brinker's chocolate symphony no.2)

and these are my favourite combinations (the apple-cinnamon was heaven on earth :)


enjoy your breakfast!
