Muesli

Muesli (/ˈmjuːzli/; Swiss German: [ˈmyːsli]) is a breakfast and brunch dish based on raw rolled oats and other ingredients like grains, fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts, that may be mixed with cow's milk, soy milk, almond milk, other plant milks, yogurt, or fruit juice.

Etymology

The word muesli is an Alemannic diminutive of mues which means "puree" or "mash-up."

Ingredients

Muesli typically has a base of oats that are soaked in either water or fruit juice. Other common ingredients are additional grains, nuts, and fruit (either fresh or dried). Some types also include honey, yogurt, or milk.

Preparation

Muesli is often combined with a liquid such as milk, fruit juice, or yogurt and left to soak overnight to soften the oats. It can also be cooked in a microwave or on the stove top to make a warm porridge.

Health Benefits

Muesli is high in fiber and whole grains, which regulate the digestive system, are filling and can aid in weight control. The addition of nuts provides a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The milk or yogurt add calcium. The fruit is high in fiber and vitamin C.
