Muesli. The first time I was introduced to Muesli was when I lived in New Zealand back in 2003. While I found it bland and rather boring back then, now I have a new found love and respect for this delicious breakfast item (or ‘nice cream’ topper)
The difference between Muesli and Granola is simple. Granola is baked. Muesli is not. Granola typically has added sugar for sweetness and oil for crunch. Muesli is the raw version if you will.
This nutrient dense breakfast item is wonderful atop the tropical storm smoothie or a bed of yogurt with a little honey drizzled across the top. Eat it with fresh banana milk (1 frozen banana blended with 1 cup water and a dash of honey) or coconut milk for a quick breakfast on the go or even soak it the night before in milk and have a breakfast porridge waiting for you when you wake up. Really there are so many options.
You can not mess this up so take liberty when making your perfect blend. We make ours as follows.
Ingredients
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and store in an air tight container. We like our Muesli pretty ‘nutty’ so we do a 2:1 ratio. We have double the nuts/seeds/fruit to oatmeal ratio but that is personal preference. We also choose sprouted nuts/seeds when we can because it is easier on your digestive system but raw or even toasted nuts and seeds will be just fine! You can not mess this up so take a look in your pantry and create your own!
