Nutty nourishment?

You roll over in bed, stretch a little, open your eyes to realise...

It's Monday morning. 

I don't know about you, but for me, 

the worst possible thing that could happen on a Monday morning is thinking it's Sunday.

That's what happened this morning, I got out of bed (still at 6am, mind you)

strolled into the kitchen to make my breakfast when I heard movement upstairs.

My lazy family awake before seven on a sunday?! what?!

It's okay... because they weren't. 

They were awake before seven on a Monday.

fail

But it's okay, Monday can always redeem itself with a delicious breakfast! 

Now that it's starting to get a little warmer (although currently its cold and overcast)

I'm getting back into muesli for breakfast.

For me, a perfect winter breakfast would have to be oatmeal

and for summer muesli with fruit and yogurt goes down a treat!

A little while ago I was sent some Brookfarm products to review.

Their toasted macadamia muesli (pictured second) was a perfect combination of grains, brans, seeds, dried fruit and crunchy macadamia nuts with a fantastic honey flavour. 

I loved the full bodied flavour and crunch of the macadamia nuts.

This muesli makes for a perfect breakfast because you're not only getting your whole grains - but also healthy fats from the almonds and all the benefits of the dried fruit without an overload of processed sugar!

I was also sent Brookfarm's gluten free macadamia muesli with cranberries (first picture)

which was filled with brown rice puffs, amaranth, buckwheat, sunflower and pumpkin kernels as well as sweet currants, sultanas and cranberries. 

Sometimes gluten free products are revolting

I'm talking flavourless cardboard.

But this muesli was delicious! and made for a great change from the regular oat-based muesli

I'm also a huge fan of trail mix.

It's one of my go-to snacks. 

For me, trail mix is about finding the perfect balance of flavour and texture.

Salty/sweet, crunchy/chewy etc. 

Brookfarm's Seven Mile Beach walkabout mix was a mix of dried fruit, nuts and belgian white chocolate.

I love the combination of white chocolate with dried fruit (well actually, I won't discriminate against any chocolate)

and the sweet white chocolate balanced perfectly with the tart dried pineapple. 

I loved how the proceeds from every pack of Walkabout Mix sold goes to Rainforest Rescue to help preserve rainforests in the Daintree. 

Because, afterall, how are you going to go on a "walkabout" if there's nothing to walk through?

Brookfarm also comes through for the Dark Chocolate lovers with their Mt. Bogong Walkabout Mix

This mix was a combination of dark chocolate, cranberries, pumpkin and sunflower kernels, oven roasted macadamias, pistachios, almonds and muscatel grapes.

I think this mix would have to be my favourite of the two because I loved the mix of dark chocolate with tart cranberries and crunchy nuts. 

and if trail mix isn't portable enough for you, Brookfarm have their delicious muesli in bar form

so you can grab and go. 

And the best thing about these bars for me? 

They're all natural with no dodgy ingredients.

Perfect for stashing in your bag for when the hunger monster attacks!

I hope I've knocked a little of the monday funk out of you,

but if I haven't, just remember... 

There's only 4 and a bit days left until the weekend! :P
