Muesli

Muesli is a breakfast mixture created at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner. The base is rolled oats, to which nuts, seeds, dried fruit and sometimes other grain flakes are added. It is eaten cold with milk, yoghurt or a plant-based drink, or baked as granola. Muesli is an excellent source of dietary fibre, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and minerals. Commercially available varieties differ in sugar content, those with as little added sugar as possible are the healthier choice. It can also be easily prepared at home.
