Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 5, 1/2 cup per serving

Ingredients

1/4 cup slivered almonds (about 1 ounce)
1 cup high-fiber cereal (clusters preferred) (about 2 ounces)
1 cup multigrain cereal squares (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small skillet, dry-roast the almonds over medium heat for about 4 minutes, or until just fragrant, stirring frequently. Pour into a medium bowl.

    Step 2

    Stir in the remaining ingredients except the orange zest. Sprinkle the zest evenly over the mixture. Toss until well blended. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

  2. Cook’s Tip
