    Recipe - DIY Holy Crap

    May 19, 2012 · 6 Comments

    Untitled

     

     
    There is a certain satisfaction when cooking, baking or making your own concoction of something pre-packaged / store bought. Sometimes it is out of sheer laziness, sometimes it’s a fear from failure that I will either burn, parch, over-bake and be left with a mess. Sometimes, “The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.” – Julia Child.

    I began eating Holy Crap for breakfast with my oatmeal the past while because I found that I was left satiated a lot longer with all the wonderful benefits of fibre. But the feeling of paying $10.99 on a good day or $13.99 regularly left my wallet and my stomach little empty.

    One day it dawned on me while I was walking through the bulk section of my local supermarket that I should make my own Holy Crap. Maybe I will call it Holy Shit. While some items are not available via bulk, they were at Costco and a local organic foods store.

     

     

     

     

     

    I like to drink Avalon milk because it taste creamier and I absolutely love the fact they use glass milk bottles. Reuse them as a water jug, cereal / bulk containers! Save them for your flowers. The industrial look is priceless.

    I don’t have a particular recipe when I made my Holy Shit. But if you must 1 cup of each and a tablespoon of cinnamon for taste. I just funnelled everything in layers like you would for decorative sand jar. In the end give it a good shake before every meal.

    As you can see from the approximate breakdown, there is significant savings to be made. A package of Holy Crap lasts me approximate 8 days with two spoons / day.

      I have bought this product before and loved it but like you it was way to expensive for me. I will be making this for sure, but I don't remember how to cook it up, can you help with that. Thanks

        Hi Carla… you don’t need to cook it. Simply add to any cereal or yogurt. Best to let the mix rest for 5 mins to allow the chia seeds to expand (tapioca like coating). Enjoy =)

      Thank you, I thought flax would be a great addition to it. My son eats this stuff daily so am going to make my own and see if he can tell the difference. I may dehydrate some apples and chunk it up so it's even more like theirs.

        Great eye! The red colored seeds are flax seeds. You can get them roasted or in their natural state!
