"Muesli is a cereal that is made from toasted whole oats, nuts, fruit and typically wheat flakes. It uses whole grains, so it is high in dietary fiber, and because it relies on the natural sweetness of the fructose in fruit, it also is low in sucrose. Depending on the proportion of nuts, it also can be relatively high in protein, unlike most other breakfast cereals."
But as I like to describe it, "heavenly comfort in a bowl, with a touch of sweetness!"
Here's how to put it all together for yourself!
Muesli with Mixed Berries
4 Tbs rolled oats
1 Tbs golden raisins
6 Tbs lowfat milk, soy or almond works great, too!
1/2 apple, grated
2 tsp chopped almonds
1 tsp honey or agave nectar (which won't spike your blood sugar levels like honey)
1/4 cup berries (I love raspberry and blueberry, but do what you like best!)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Put oats and raisins in a bowl, add the milk and cover and leave in refrigerator overnight.
The next day, grate the apple and stir into oat mixture with grated apple, nuts and honey (or agave).
Sprinkle berries on top and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
