By making crunchy muesli myself, I hope to make the biscuit breakfast a little less unhealthy, which is a packaging looser and maybe even a bit cheaper.
I tested a recipe and found out whether it is really much healthier than crispy muesli from the supermarket or a wholemeal sandwich.

Favorite breakfast
For years I have been eating a large bowl of yoghurt almost every morning - now soy yoghurt - with fruit and crispy muesli. Here in the house also known as the biscuit breakfast, because that muesli still resembles sugars with a bit of cereal as a binder. Well rich in fiber, but in terms of sugar it could be a bit healthier.
Ordinary oat flakes or muesli from the supermarket I find boring and dry stuff. Moreover, I noticed on such a bag that there was almost as much sugar in it as in the tastier crunchy version. You do not really make me happy with oatmeal porridge either.
An earlier attempt to make crispy muesli myself was okay, but not so good that I was convinced. I grabbed back to the crispy muesli, usually with 4 types of Quaker nuts. These are then at least still palm oil free.
Nutritional values
Yes, even a recipe can still be counted. I have never counted calories or other nutritional values before, but now I wonder how unhealthy that crunchy muesli from the supermarket actually is and whether the home-made version is so much better, I'm going to do it anyway.
Every day we should get about 30 to 40 grams of fiber, but many people do not get much further than 20 grams. Fibers are in vegetables, fruit and nuts, but especially in (wholemeal) grains and legumes. A fiber rich cereal breakfast we can use well.

Our Nutrition Center puts sugars on a heap with other carbohydrates and makes no distinction between the sugars and fruit and sweets. The World Health Organization does advise not to consume more than 25 grams of 'free sugars'. With free sugars they mean both added sugars and sugars in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates. Agave syrup is therefore also included.
The Nutrition Center recommends that no more than 10% of your caloric intake should consist of saturated fat. That amounts to about 22 grams for women, 28 grams for men, or an average of 25 grams.
