My own recipe has morphed from the standard one over time (but that's the beauty of it). And if you remember to put it in the fridge the night before. Hmmmmmm.
Bit of a hassle to put together (I now do big batches that last several weeks) but it has been my breakfast cereal of choice for several years now. And my late night snack. Speaking of which…
I get that and make my own from: Four grain porridge, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and raisins, which is a much cheaper interpretation of the basic dorset museli.
I'm trying muesli for breakfast (as I type). Alpen has 30g of sugar in 100g. I know it's because there's a lot of fruit in it, but is this a bit high? Frosties etc are supposed to be bad because of their high sugar content.
Lidls sugar free museli's the kiddie! No artificial sweetners, not too much dried fruit and it's not ridiculously chewy – ie, you can pour it into your bowl, add the milk and finish it within a few minutes. You're not still grinding away at it some twenty minutes later!
BTW, before tucking into a bowl of museli please make sure that you take the trouble to line your stomach with a proper breakfast 😉 …..
I consider myself a connoisseur in such matters and without doubt, Lidl's Goody Special Luxury Fruit and Nut Muesli at £1.59 is the outright winner. Be sure to buy the blue, and not the green Tropical version.
I was coming on to recommend the one that Kimbers mentioned at the top. Tis lovely, with either milk or yoghurt. Yum. This week I have mainly been adding blueberries in.
