Breakfast Made to Order

Breakfast. It’s a much-maligned meal – for some a necessary evil, for others, a meal worth skipping. A walk down the supermarket cereal aisle provides an almost infinite choice of breakfast bleakness or morning magic depending on your perspective.

But love it or hate it, you can’t beat designer cereal, especially when you’re the one doing the designing. [me] & goji allows customers to pick from more than 50 natural ingredients, which are then mixed by hand and sent directly to your door, with a custom label bearing your name.

Can’t afford bespoke cereals, which can come with a hefty price tag? No problem. With a little ambition, you can make your own. Here’s an easy recipe for granola bars from Mark Bittman, the king of uncomplicated cooking. Or, try your hand at making your own version of an energy bar.
