Healthy Homemade Muesli Recipe
Recipe provided by: Emma Jessop
Alright foodies and health conscious people, how often have you been standing in front of the muesli isle and just couldn’t decide what to buy. Not because there is not enough choice, but because no matter how healthy they look, most supermarket muesli have just an enormous amount of sugar.
And if you add sweetened yogurt, you can end up with up to 8 tea spoons of sugar – JUST FOR BREAKFAST.
And a lot of us don’t really have time to cook eggs in the morning, so ready to grab muesli is just perfect there. This recipe can be pre-made and used when ever you feel like muesli it or just when you are short in time.
It can be eaten cold or hot. You can make oats over night, hot porridge or just muesli with other ingredients. There are no limits to your imagination.
