The range of available mueslis available now is pretty crazy and it can be pretty darn confusing, especially with the wide range of claims they all make! If you are looking for the best muesli, don’t believe the hype and don’t just go on price. Check out the points below to ensure you make the right choice:

  • Ensure your muesli has at least 4 to 7g of fibre per serving - You should always aim for it to be a great source of fibre;
  • Check carefully for hidden sugars like dried fruits maple syrup, honey or similar and only buy muesli’s with 10g or less of sugar per serving or less that 3% sugar content;
  • Keep and eye on those fat levels and ensure it contains mainly unsaturated fats from good vegetable sources;
  • Go fruit-free and add your own fresh. Dried fruit is packed with sugars that you don’t really need and fresh tastes batter anyway!
  • Look out for a good mix of grains, with less nuts and fruit;

But of course, there is another way to make sure you get the health muesli you deserve - buy the ingredients and make it yourself!
