Homemade Muesli Recipe
Is muesli a healthy breakfast option?
Standing in the supermarket reading labels can be a painful task…and how bad can breakfast cereal really be?!
Despite portraying a healthy image, store bought muesli can often be high in sugar and may contain unnecessary calories, carbs and fat.
The only way to ensure your breakfast is as healthy as it can be, is to make it yourself! The benefits of homemade muesli are plentiful;
- less sugar and calories than most store bought breakfast cereals
- high in fibre to assist in digestion and regulate weight control
- nuts to provide a source of protein and omega-3
