Recipes that make you want to have breakfast again

So what is muesli?

​

It's a combination of nuts, seeds, grains, dried fruits, and sometimes spices. Muesli can be mixed with nuts milks, yogurts, fruit juices, or eaten au naturel. It’s a very popular dish in Switzerland, Germany and throughout EU as a light breakfast and is also a great source of nutrition.

So what’s the difference between granola and muesli? Basically, muesli and granola contain very similar ingredients. Granola typically involves both an oil or fat and sugar or sweetener and is baked. For example, in granola, it is common to use combinations of sweeteners like coconut oil, palm oil and maple syrup, or nut butter and coconut nectar, etc. Muesli, on the other hand, doesn’t contain added oils or sugars. Both are delicious, nutrient dense, and easy to make and serve.

Muesli can be eaten in a variety of ways and dishes from sweet to savory, but you can also change the texture of muesli by adding milk, soy, nut and/or yogurt. To soak or not to soak? You choose! Either way you choose to eat muesli, the nutrient benefits for both are still fantastic compared to most standard breakfasts.

Eating muesli by itself, which is our personal favorite way, but you can add any toppings you like to make cool dishes, like topping with cold yogurt to make a smoothie bowl, or fresh fruit with homemade nut milks.
