Muesli can be an excellent source of energy, protein and fibre and a great start to your day.

However the issue with most shop-bought muesli’s is they are packed with sugars, in the form of dried fruits, honeys and added fruit or sugar syrups. 

The truth is it’s a snap to make your own home made muesli with my “Magic Muesli” recipe.

It’s high in fibre, protein and healthy fats, low in sugar, high in antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory fighting additives and can actually help lower your blood pressure.

Enjoy!
