You're sitting at the breakfast table. In front of you is a big bowl. It's not just any muesli, but the one you've mixed yourself. With exactly the ingredients you like. Oats, sweet raisins, or dried apple pieces. Maybe with nuts or chocolate? You know exactly what's in it. No hidden sugar, no stuff you don't like. Just what you love. And you made it yourself! You might want to try different mixes. One for the morning when you want to wake up quickly, one for the afternoon when you need more energy. Making your own muesli is not only delicious. It shows you that you can do something for yourself. For your body and your well-being. Ready? Let's go!

What you'll need

2 cups of oats (rolled or quick)
½ cup of chopped nuts (e.g. walnuts)
½ cup of dried fruits (e.g. raisins)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp shredded coconut
2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
Yogurt or milk
A muesli bowl
Tablespoon and teaspoon
Bowls
Optional: Empty chip can
Or container with a lid

How it works

Take 2 cups of oats and pour them into a large bowl. Oats are filling and give you energy for the day.
Now for the crunch: Take half a cup of mixed nuts and seeds. Chop them a bit smaller if you like. The fats in nuts are really good for your brain!
Choose your favorite dried fruits. Take half a cup. That's enough to make your muesli sweeter. Cut larger pieces smaller so they mix well. Tip: A pair of scissors works great for this.
Sprinkle 1–2 teaspoons of cinnamon on top. If you like, add 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut or a few chocolate chips (2 tablespoons is plenty). This adds a special flavor.
Now it's time to stir with a big spoon. This is your own muesli! Make a small portion with yogurt or milk and taste it. Does it fit? Or do you want a bit more crunch or fruit next time?
Pour your finished muesli into a large jar or a container with a lid. This keeps it fresh, and you always have a supply for the next morning. And you know exactly: This is your muesli. Made by you. Just the way you like it. It gives you power for everything you plan to do!
If you feel like it, you can even create your own muesli packaging! Just take an empty chip can, wash it out well, and let it dry. Here you can also find templates that you can print and stick on with tape. Come up with a unique name for your muesli!
