A tasty muesli recipe that is packed with nutrition

This muesli recipe is loaded with fiber, protein, and lots of antioxidants. It's a great power breakfast to give your body a boost in the morning. I have also added in a teaspoon or two of ground flax meal for added nutrition.

Change it up!
There are many ways that you can change this muesli recipe to your liking.Here are some basic ideas to try out:
The Grains: Muesli can be made with lots of other grains besides quick cooking oats. These grains include wheat flakes, rye flakes, rolled oats, oat bran, and wheatgerm. If you decide to try one of these grains, I recommend that you let them soak in the milk or yogurt for at least 30 minutes before eating so they can soften.

The Nuts: There are so many nuts and seeds that can blend nicely in to muesli. These include cashews, brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and sesame seeds.

The Fruit: Dried fruit can be a great alternative or addition to fresh fruit. Our favorites are apricots, raisins, prunes, banana chips, apple chips, and dates.

The Liquid: Cow's milk, yogurt, soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, and oat milk.
