Oat flakes in granola
Did you know that oats have the highest vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 content of all cereals? They also contain long-chain carbohydrates that keep you full for longer. Do you have coeliac disease? No problem: oats are also available in a gluten-free version.
Seeds in granola
Seeds are also a must. These little powerhouses also contain important vitamins and minerals. Flaxseeds also stimulate digestion and hemp seeds are high in protein.
Chia seeds, which were already prized by the Aztecs, are considered a superfood for a reason. With five times more calcium than milk and lots of omega-3 fatty acids, they thoroughly deserve this title. Just two tablespoons a day is enough to support your body.
Fruit in your granola
What would crunchy muesli be without fruit? Fruit is an important ingredient that not only provides vitamins but also clearly contributes to the taste. You can either choose dried fruit or add fresh fruit when you prepare your breakfast. Berries are particularly popular here.
They not only taste deliciously sweet, but also offer real benefits for your body. They contain anthocyanins, which are even said to protect against cancer, vitamins and fibre.

Quality wins – beware of cheap sugars and additives
When buying your cereal, check the ingredients. The brand can be crucial here, because excessive added sugars can quickly negate the positive effects of the healthy ingredients. Your personal preferences and needs are also important: are you vegan? Then you should make sure that your mix does not contain powdered milk.
Do you have coeliac disease? Then make sure you choose a gluten-free version. Also take into account any other allergies you may have and then select a mixture that suits your individual taste.

Let it cool down before adding dried fruit or chocolate flakes. Then store the mixture in an airtight container. When making your own granola, be sure to avoid adding cheap sugar. If you want to sweeten your muesli, we recommend agave syrup or maple syrup. Refined sugar can quickly turn your healthy, well-balanced breakfast into a calorie bomb.
