- pinch salt
Mix-Ins
- 2/3-3/4 cup water

- In a small prep bowl combine all of the ingredients, whisk together. Add in any desired spices, nuts, dried fruit or chocolate and place into a microwave-safe bowl and add 2/3 c. water.

Notes
*I used Bob's Red Mill non-fat powdered milk, but King Arthur Flour makes a good dried milk as well.
**I'd suggest starting with 1 tsp. of sugar (you can also use other sweeteners if desired) and go up from there.
{mix-ins} chopped dried fruit, chopped nuts, chocolate, spices etc.
-I make individual portions at a time and then place them in sandwich size ziploc bags, that way I can make multiple flavors, have them prepped for the week and take them on the go if needed.
