Dr. W’s “Llama Chow” or Beneficial Motivator Cereal 

 Purchase and keep in dry storage a 50:50 mix of cracked wheat and steel cut oats.    You can use a pure cracked wheat, a pure steel cut oats, or any other WHOLE grain.  Spelt is delicious and chewy (takes a little longer to cook).  Buckwheat avoids gluten.  Try them all.  You might just end up with quinoa – the grain of the Inca.   

 To Cook: 1 cups of the above mix of whole grain oats and wheat 3 cups of water  (4 cups for buckwheat) (2 cups for quinoa) 1 tsp salt 

 Simmer for 20 minutes with frequent stirring to prevent boiling over 

 Set aside: let cool.  Place in plastic storage container in fridge.  

Lasts 10 days   

 To Prepare Breakfast 

 About ½  cup of the above mix Add ~ 1 cup almond, coconut or skim milk (I add ½ cup frozen blueberries) – ORAC score of 3500.  LOTS of pterostilbene 

 Place in microwave and heat about 3 minutes 

 Add ¼ cup ground flax seed (15 grams extra fiber and tons of omega 3s) 

 Conclusion: don’t get hungry till lunch time.  And you have great BMs.
