Mighty Muesli make lots of lovely breakfast items. They were started by Juliette Cattell who devised recipes to help her husband in his training for a world championship.

Gluten free museli.

This is different to other gluten free muesli’s with less rice and more wholegrain ingredients (I often think that gluten free can be high GI as they tend to be rice or corn based)- Ingredients; millet flakes, buckwheat flakes, quinoa flakes, brown rice flakes, puffed rice, rice syrup, golden syrup, pumpkin seeds, apricots, apple, puffed buckwheat, puffed millet, linseeds, sunflower seeds, apple juice, maize meal.

100g gives you 392 cals, 15.7g protein, 59.9g carbs and 3.5g fibre. Amazingly 100g will give you 700% of your RDA of vitamin B12. I also read on the box that 10% of the company’s profits go to charities that help combat global warming and climate change- pretty impressive.

I had it on some yoghurt and it was tasty.  The little pieces of puffed rice were like popcorn- fun!

Natural Muesli.

This stuff is amazing! It tastes like the museli I remember eating as a child (we used to bulk buy from a health food shop which had things like muesli, cereals etc in big bins which you weighted out yourself)- no horrible powdered milk in this stuff. The ingredients are; rolled oats, rolled barley, rolled rye, golden syrup, sunflower seeds, puffed rice, buckwheat flakes, quinoa grain, dried sour cherries, dried cranberries, maize meal, linseeds, alfalfa seeds, sesame seeds, rice syrup, millet, pumpkin seeds, cracked buckwheat, honey, puffed spelt. 100g gives you 354 cals, 10.5g protein, 59.9g carbs, 11.4g fibre. The packaging also lists all the vitamins and minerals in the muesli, which I really like as often these are missed off more natural foods, and only put on the sides of foods that probably have the vitamins added in. For example, 100g gives you 32% RDA iron which is not half bad!

I have had it on yoghurt too, but in my opinion it tastes at its best with some milk. I would give this 9/10 cherries. The only thing that would make it better would be some nuts, but even on the packaging it does say that people can add nuts if they wish “to suit your particular taste” which I should really do!

I also made it into porridge, and the seeds and different grains give it a great texture.

Power Porridge

I did not try this as there was none in stock, but the ingredients look great; oats, rye flakes, barley flakes, spelt flakes, millet flakes, rice flakes, buckwheat flakes, quinoa flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, linseeds, sesame seeds. What a fab sounding mix of grains and seeds. Makes my usual bowl of plain oats sound rather boring!
