Please recommend me a Muesli.

I just have Scots porridge oats, semi-skimmed milk and a big teaspoon of clear honey. I cook it in a plastic microwave bowl for three and a half minutes at 850 watts, adding the honey at the end.

I do live porridge oats but without the honey, it's the same as sugar.

I got tired of cutting my mouth on dried banana so I now make my own. I use porridge oats, dried mixed fruit and brown sugar.

Couple of years back I cracked off part of a bridge whilst chewing on some muesli, the dried banana being the culprit. Had an expensive visit to the dentist putting that right

PS - Since this incident, I make up my own muesli, surprisingly easy after a bit of practice.

I prefer granola over bird cage droppings dressed up as muselli

When I'm at home I eat porridge in winter and Weetabix in summer. I only buy muesli when I'm travelling, because it's more compact to carry.

Muesli isn't really healthy unless you make it yourself and omit sugar and go easy on very sugary items. Eating a bowl of muesli from the supermarket is like eating a bowl of sugary cereal or its even more sugary.
Porridge is better for you or weetabix/ eggs etc.

I buy no added sugar, the sugar comes from the grains and dried fruit only. Waitrose the best as they don't put those foul dates in!!

It can still contain a lot of sugar.

But not added as I said

that's a bit like saying I didn't rub my lard with olive oil.

People can read packets I'm sure to assess the sugar content. I'm not as fussed as I probably should be myself

After the backlash you received on your other post, something with Hemlock maybe?

Its very tricky to read once its smeared in olive oil though

Dorset Cereals muesli has no added sugar, and you can get one without fruit either if you want it. The reason I buy it is that it's not sickly and full of sugar like the rest.
