Buying a good quality muesli is expensive, and sadly, many of them have sugar added. This is a super tasty muesli on it's own, or make it into a bircher muesli by soaking it with yoghurt and some fresh juice.
It makes a wonderful breakfast, with plenty of protein from the nuts and seeds, good fats from the nuts seeds and chia as well as plenty of fibre, so it makes a complete breakfast which will sustain even blood sugar levels until lunchtime to help concentration and energy levels.
Chopping and soaking the nuts and seeds makes the nutrients more accessible and easier to digest.
Make a batch and keep in the fridge. This makes about 10-12 servings.
Cinnamon: As well as being tasty, cinnamon helps maintain blood sugar balance and curb sugar cravings. Along with the oats, cinnamon is also known for its cholesterol lowering properties.
