When I first made this, I was using dairy products andadded walnuts, raisinsand applesauce and really liked it. I have since beenadding whatever else looks like it would fit. Find a nicestore with the bins of nuts and find some that you like, addsome dry fruit (raisins or cranberries are my favorite) thenpaste it all together with applesauce. Proportions are upto your taste. One way to start is to add equal amountsnuts and fruits and then add applesauce and fresh fruit. This is about where I like it. If you can get a hold ofgood cherries or blueberries, do it.I also tried this one day in oatmeal and it was great theretoo. Just start with oatmeal, add enough nuts and driedfruit to see after prepared, boil it all in water, then addapplesauce after it's stopped cooking (unless you like warmapplesauce). This one is good hot or cold as a few times Ihave left part in the fridge and come back to it. It's good for breakfast, but also works nice for a snack orif you don't have a lot of time for lunch. I have enough ofthe ingredients in my kitchen above my counter to make abowl, get a glass of water and a spoon and be eating inabout three minutes.Regardless of what you use, you will wind up with a lot ofprotein, fat, and carbohydrates. Vitamins and minerals willdepend on what you go with. This is pretty filling stuff,so you don't have to make a whole lot. As I say, I prefer walnuts (not only are they the cheapest,they are also quite tasty) and raisins or dried cranberriesas a base. Then I add other nuts and fruit in smallerquantities. I've never had one I didn't like, but you mightstick with non-sour fruits. I don't think dried apricotswould go very well. If anyone tries and has a particularly successfulcombination, add a comment.
