Making your own muesli is fun, simple and delicious. When you make it yourself you can play around with the ratios and flavours to make it your own. Store bought muesli can contain a varying range of sugar and sweeteners. We’ve sweetened with maple syrup and date and figs. You can adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your own tastes.

Making your own muesli at home can be so much tastier and you have more control over the ingredients. When you make it yourself you can play around with the ratios and flavours to make it your own. We have sweetened ours with date and figs and with chia seeds for added satiety.
