Is muesli as good as porridge?

Depends on the shop. I eat Neals Yard Rich muesli from Holland and Barrett, which is grain, nuts, seeds, fruit and nothing else. It's also cheaper than big-brand supermarket muesli.

Sounds like that might be worth a try. I eat Jordans muesli which has no added salt or sugar, but I'm willing to try something different.

In my experience Holland and Barrett are usually expensive though.

It hasn't been cold enough for porridge yet this winter...

Jordan's muesli 50p per 100g
Holland and Barrett Rich muesli 26p per 100g at full price - you can often get buy one get one half price.

I've been paying £2.50 for 1kg of Jordans. It's just gone back up to about £3 this week though. I'll check out H&B tomorrow - there's one near work.

I do like Jordans though - nicer than Dorset cereals I think

Basic Muesli recipe:
3 lbs rolled oats
1 cup chopped nuts (your choice but nothing salted)
1 cup raisins or chopped dates
2 cups wheat germ flakes
Mix all together and store in an air tight container.
Soak a bowl full in milk overnight.

You can vary the quantities to taste. You can also add granular lecithin to make it creamy or use half Kamut instead of 3 lbs oats (essential to soak) add a fresh banana or yoghurt to the basic recipe.

I find muesli gives me bad wind.

 

[ayceejay]

As opposed to good wind is it?

Porridge is great stuff. I eat it with hot milk and two tablespoons of sugar. Sometimes I through a banana in there.
If you're looking something very tasty, high in energy as well as healthy it's hard to beat heated Ambrosia rice pudding or heated custard.
