What is muesli?
Muesli is a versatile breakfast cereal, usually made up of a mixture of rolled oats, seeds, nuts and dried fruits. Originating in Switzerland in the early 1900s, muesli was designed as a convenient and healthy option to support a balanced diet. Unlike sugary cereals, muesli is minimally processed and focuses on delivering natural goodness.
While traditionally served cold with milk or yoghurt, muesli can also be enjoyed with warm milk, used in muesli bar snacks and smoothie bowls, or even on its own. Its flexibility makes it a favourite for those seeking a quick yet wholesome start to their day.

Muesli typically consists of a mix of the following ingredients:

Dried fruits: sultanas, apricots or dates contribute natural sweetness, vitamins and minerals.
