Muesli is a high-fibre combination of cereal grains such as oats, wheat, barley, ragi or similar grains such as quinoa, buckwheat or amaranth.Along with fruits, seeds and nuts, it makes a well-balanced meal of proteins, carbohydrates and micronutrients such as vitamins (think folate, thiamine, riboflavin), macrominerals and essential acids.

These may sound like a mouthful (again with the puns), but think of the last time you stayed tired all morning even after a ‘heavy’ breakfast? Fibre in muesli is the kind that breaks down and releases energy slowly throughout your day, keeping you feeling energetic longer.

Muesli can be great when included with your weight management diet. However, many options available in the market may also contain a lot of sugars, preservatives and artificial flavors. Those little extras can seriously throw a wrench into your process. In fact, sugary, preservative-rich foods are a no-go on any day. All in all, the right muesli can be a great addition to your weight loss program.

Our own line of Diet Mueslis has no refined sugar and is a good bet for those who want to cut sugars and artificial ingredients from their diets completely. More importantly, mueslis can help add the recommended 25-30 grams of fibre in your diet every day, which is how you stop craving Madras mixture and pineapple cream biscuits (don’t judge us). 

The difference is fat and sugar! Granola is just muesli’s crunchier, clumpier cousin. Typically, they are made bymixing grains and nuts with edible oils (fat) and sweeteners (sugar), which act as binders, and baking them into desired shapes (remember those tasty and nutty energy bars). While addictive, they may not be the best choice especially if you’re trying to cut down on extra sugars or unnecessary fats. Muesli can be a healthier alternative especially if you choose low-sugar varieties like ours. Granola bars can also be heavy on carbohydrates and contain more calorific energy. That’s why they make great snack bars for those who need that extra boost.

We’d like to think our mueslis are so delicious and healthy that you’ll WANT to eat them every morning. You can eat it raw, although we recommend at least a tiny dash of cold milk or other liquid to help it go down better. You can also eat it at night if you want a light dinner or an excuse to eat muesli.

Would you believe it if we told you that you could eat it any way you like? Hot milk, cold milk, yoghurt, water, etc. Depending on the weather we like to switch things up! Ever had warm milk and muesli with hot, stewed apples on a cold morning? On summer days, we like to soak our muesli overnight in milk and enjoy a refreshing chilled breakfast the next day.

The healthiest way to eat it is with some form of probiotics such as yoghurt. Soluble fibre and probiotics work in tandem to strengthen your gut microbiome, a key to great health and general immunity. You can also add chunks of dark chocolate (how decadent!) to your bowl. Our line of savoury muesli can also be incorporated into chaats or served with Dahi, garnished with some fresh coriander leaves and condiments.
