Let’s be honest; a straightforward and pre-made breakfast muesli is often the best call at ’family rush hour’!
Having the flexibility to make up your recipe is perfect, especially when children have different tastes week to week.
If you prefer to hear ‘yes’ rather than a ‘no’ at breakfast make this with kids and add ingredients they like. Depending on what you have in the kitchen, try making this muesli with different grains, cereal, seeds and dried fruits. To inspire you we have given some guidance below.
Rich & Source of Nutritional Benefits
Making your own muesli means loads less sugar and calories than bought breakfast cereals. It’s also a potent source of antioxidants, and high in fibre from wholegrain, which is excellent news on your tummy.
