This is my favorite summer breakfast …. originally posted by Shelly and discovered by Christy. I am in love.
Meet Muesli
1 cup quick oats (no, don’t cook them)
1/4 cup shredded coconut
generous sprinkle of cinnamon
lots of fresh fruit (or in this case frozen blueberries)
drizzles of honey
milk
Stir and enjoy. Some people like to let it sit for a few minutes. I prefer eating mine right away. It is the ultimate quick summer breakfast. Cool. Refreshing. Healthy. Satisfying (seriously, some days I don’t eat lunch after eating this). And best of all, nearly prep-less. Just my kind of kitchen experience.
edited to add: the measurements I gave are one serving for me. I just now saw that Shelly’s amounts are exactly double and it serves THREE of them. And I just told a friend this morning I don’t eat nearly as much since I’ve hit my thirties. 
Mmmmmmmmmmmm…. Shelly is the queen of coming up with delicious food! Just recently she’s posted two-week menu plans, and I told her I’m going to use every single one of her ideas. 🙂
This sounds soooo good! I had forgotten about muesli…
who is this shelly? and why isn’t she a part of my life? 🙂 two week menu plans? sounds great! i am needing some food inspiration…so thanks michelle for sharing this yummy breakfast idea!!!
Interesting that you just posted this. I just returned from visiting Ireland and they offered us Muesli almost every morning. It was very similar to this–sometimes it had nuts and seeds in it also. Yum!
ooh! yum! maybe this shall be tomorrows plan…today was not nearly so healthy with half a bagel with cream cheese? (gulp)
oh, and cute! new header!
That Muesli picture looks absolutely AMAZING!!! I am officially inspired…i am so making this!! 🙂 Thanks for posting, i am trying to find ways to eat healthy, and it’s hard when you live by yourself, to figure out simple ways to make stuff! God bless you in your motherhood this coming week! You have so much to offer! ~ Jana
The looks so delicious! I’m going to try that for sure! Love the new look 🙂
This reminds me of the granola recipe I have, only it would be no preperation.
I think I’ll be trying this.
Thanks!
That sounds really yummy to me! I’ll have to try it if I can remember to!
Yummy:) But excuse my ignorance….Where do you buy it? The M stuff? I just made Granola last night and Hubby was walking around eating it without milk:) Makes me happy when they like stuff that takes me that much time to make!
LOVE THE HEADER:)
i was just thinking about this recipe ( i remember you or christy mentioning it before) and wishing i could find it easily…and TA-DA you posted it. thanks. =)
That looks yummy. I never heard of Muesli before but ill try it. Thanks you for the recipe. : )
looks good! And the new header looks amazing too!
Oh, that sounds WONDERFUL!! I will be trying that…and soon!! 🙂
Mmmm!! I tried that for breakfast this morning….with banana’s. It was wonderful, just like it looked! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
@r4valilswitz – The M stuff? As in Muesli? You make it. 😉 That’s why I gave you the recipe. 😀 Too many interrupted nights, eh? 🙂
so yummy and healthy!!!! I had two stink’n cookies for breakfast with three cups of coffee. (not the normal) But it makes me sad, so I am going to go swallow some nutrition pills. 😉 And have a protein shake for snack. haha
The header is super classy!
Cool, muesli gets more deserved attention. 🙂 I was just thinking that I should post another link to last years’ post since old posts sometimes get forgotten. *And* don’t worry about the amount you eat . . . 2 cups doesn’t serve the 3 or 4 of us anymore. I guess the children only ate tiny portions last year, because I do figure about 1 cup for adults and *almost* as much for the kids. They eat it like crazy people. They had cooked oatmeal for breakfast yesterday and huge portions of muesli for supper. It really is “a weight loss program” as my SIL describes it. Fills you up and keeps you there for a while! Thanks for linking to me!
@FOREVERLANE – You’re welcome! I’m just so, so glad you shared it in the first place!
I have yet to try this, but tomorrow may be my day. Shelly has talked about this and I just can’t see how plain oatmeal could be so rave-able-good
@smilesbymiles – Oh I was thinking that the muesli was some thing that you put the recipe on top of;( sorry!
@r4valilswitz – It’s a mom thing. 😀 I understand.
Sounds like something I’ll have to try!
so i finally got around to making this for breakfast and yeah, it’s good. i can’t believe i’m saying that but there is something very likeable and satisfying about it.
altho, i’m not sure how tiny you could eat a whole serving of this. I halved it and still had more then enough
