What is the healthiest breakfast cereal?

Tracey Higgins – Inspiro dietitian

A common question I get is "what is the healthiest breakfast cereal?" And my answer is.....

Very few if any prepackaged foods on the market are as healthy as a muesli you can easily make yourself.

Try this tasty muesli that is easy to make, the dried fruit gives it a lovely 'pop' of sweetness, this is an easy nutritious breakfast. I love mine with a good quality Greek style yogurt and a few berries.

Super healthy home made muesli

3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup of sultanas or other dried fruit
1 cup of flaked almonds – toasted then cooled
1 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
¾ cup walnuts – chopped

Optional additions

1/3 cup linseed (flaxseed)
¼ - 1/3 cup of chia seeds
¼ cup LSA (linseed, Sunflower & Almonds)
1/2 cup hemp seed

Mix together and store in an airtight container. Serve with milk and/or yogurt and a few berries if desired.
