Muesli time

I have lately been on a Muesli kick. Muesli and yogurt, to be specific. I take it to work with me and have had it for breakfast every day for the past couple weeks.

I had never even heard of the stuff but one of my coworkers gave me some as a gag Christmas gift. It sat on the counter for almost a month and I finally decided to give it a try. I kind of like it! Though I have to add extra raisins or blueberries or something for flavor.

According to Wikipedia: "Muesli is a breakfast dish based on raw rolled oats and other ingredients like grains, fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts, that may be mixed with milk, soy milk, almond milk, other plant milks, yogurt, or fruit juice. Developed around 1900 by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients in his hospital, muesli is available ready-made in a packaged dry form, or it can be made fresh."

I purchased the pictured 'Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style' at Fresh Thyme and just add a handful of extra raisins. I did not realize they have other flavors available too!

So far, the only way I've eaten it is with a glop of Whole Milk Plain Greek Yogurt. I toss it together in a plastic container and mix it as best I can with a spoon and simply eat it cold. It's quite filling. Hopefully it is also somewhat healthy, but I don't honestly know.

Anyway, I felt this new food source worth pointing out.

If you've got the time... they've got the breakfast. :)
