Introduction

Muesli, the German word for "mixture," typically refers to a breakfast cereal of grains, dried fruit, and nuts. A hearty breakfast like this—full of heart-healthy fats, whole grains, calcium- and protein-rich yogurt, and dried fruits—will help you stay full all morning. Use Greek yogurt to add more protein or use flavored yogurt to add a little sweetness. Muesli, the German word for "mixture," typically refers to a breakfast cereal of grains, dried fruit, and nuts.
