This Easy Homemade Muesli is a breakfast that's healthier than granola and packed full of nutrition from nuts, seeds, and dried fruits!

There are some foods that you never forget the first time you had them. Muesli is one of them for me. I was living in Italy where breakfast is sweet. As a fruit and eggs breakfast eater, I was lost. Eggs? Never. Fruit? Blank stares. Toast? Only if it has Nutella. My host families instead introduced me to muesli and yogurt. I was. In. Love. Oats, dried fruits, and nuts. This Easy Homemade Muesli is takes me back to my days in Italy and also gives my girls a delicious, healthy cereal!

Ground Flax Seed

Because it's blueberry season, we had some fresh picked blueberries that we dehydrated which was perfect for this! (And some of our Blueberry Almond Granola!)

Add fresh fruit to round it out and make every bowl different. We love love love fresh summer raspberries mixed in. But strawberries, bananas, apples, peaches, whatever you have wound be delish.
