    Folks, this home-made muesli recipe means there's no need for you to ever buy muesli again!

    I mean have you ever picked up one of the cereal boxes of shop bought muesli, or other equivalent breakfast cereals and looked at the list of ingredients?

    More than likely they will contain added sugar, salt, sweetened dried fruits, vegetable oils and a whole list of other preservatives and additives.

    There’s really no need!

    You can make your own home-made muesli quite easily with just a little bit of effort.

    That way it'll be made up of complex carbohydrates and lots of healthy vitamins and minerals.

    Rather than the refined simple carbohydrates contained in a normal boxed cereal.

    Not only that you can customise your own home-made muesli exactly how YOU like it.

    My version has lots of nuts and seeds for added healthy fats and protein.

    But why not add your own favourite selection of chopped nuts?

    And your own choice of fresh chopped fruit when you serve it?

    One of the first things I did as I moved toward a healthier diet was to cut out shop bought processed foods.

    Shop bought muesli became one of the first things to go once I learned to make my own homemade muesli.

    Eating my own muesli as well as having a regular exercise routine and cooking the rest of my foods from scratch helped me lose overall 2 stones in weight!

    Equipment

    • Saucepans
    • Pyrex mixing glass bowl
    • Large mixing bowl
    • Kitchen scale

    Ingredients

    • 50 g flaked almonds
    • 50 g hazelnuts halved
    • 300 g porridge oats
    • 200 g rye flakes
    • 200 g barley flakes
    • 100 g sultanas
    • 50 g sunflower seeds
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Toast the flaked almonds and hazelnuts over a low heat in a small saucepan stirring constantly to watch the nuts do not burn. Once toasted remove to a separate bowl and allow to cool.
    • Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, mix well and then transfer to a 1kg sealed container.
    • Serve with skimmed milk / no fat Greek yogurt and topped with a handful of fruits of your own choice. I also like to add a teaspoon of flaxseeds and a tablespoon of chai seeds to mine. Choice is yours though!

    Notes

    This makes 12 servings.
    Serve each portion with a little yogurt and honey topped with your favourite fruits, such as blueberries and strawberries.
