So I have this new place in my heart for breakfast, and when I find new delicious breakfastings - well it just makes me jump out of bed and run downstairs some mornings. And instagram the hell out of some breakfast creations before I've even put my contacts in.
Enter my new love - muesli.
While muesli and granola can look very similar, there are some key differences:
So when Seven Sundays contacted our local group of foodie fitness bloggers - Olallie MKE - and asked if we wanted some samples to create recipes with and review, I was like YES PLEASE.
And then I picked up my box and almost ate the whole thing in a few days. And flirted with not having enough left to take pictures with. It is the bomb.com.
It just tastes light and clean and I don't feel as weighed down as I do after eating granola. And the SPICES - there are some good spices vibing in this box. And I only had the original.
Plus I dig the fact that it's a midwest company with a grassroots vibe. And their packaging makes me smile:
So we were supposed to come up with a recipe using the museli. And I tried, really I did. I was going to do some coconut almond butter bars or some really awesome looking muffins and then I decided - let's just keep this real.
I really don't like baking. I really am not going to buy a box of this and take time every week to make muesli bars. It's not me. I just want to EAT it. In bowls.
I give you...
Simple. Pour and enjoy. But I do ask that you take the time to savor, enjoy, and eat mindfully - as that is actually what inspired the name for the Seven Sundays brand.

| That's what I look in my kitchen every morning. |
What is muesli you ask?
Muesli (pronounced “muse-lee”) means “stew” or “mix” because it is a mix of various nutritious grains, nuts, seeds and dried fruits.So is it the same as granola?
I'll let my friends at Seven Sundays answer this one.While muesli and granola can look very similar, there are some key differences:
- Muesli is often less toasted (or completely untoasted, as with our Bircher muesli) so it has a more natural, chewier texture and its nutritional value is less impacted by heat and processing
- Muesli is made with a broad variety of ingredients, whereas most granolas are primarily made up of oats and a smaller number of other ingredients
- Most mueslis contain far less sugar than a typical granola, relying on the variety of ingredients and fruits to add flavor and sweetness.
- Many granolas also include processed oils or fats, whereas our muesli has no added oil or fat.

What does it taste like?
Delicious. I was lucky enough to enjoy some many mornings in Bali since it is a breakfast staple there and in other parts of Europe and in New Zealand - which is actually what inspired two adorable Minnesotans to create Seven Sundays and bring some muesli love to the states. |

I give you...
Muesli Three Ways
Muesli Bali Style
Muesli + Coconut Greek Yogurt + Pinapple + Bananas + Honey
Muesli Yogi Style
Muesli + Coconut Almond Milk (my other new favorite thing) + Bananas + Chia
(let it soak for like 15 minutes while you brush your teeth and let the dog out. It gets so yummy)
Muesli in a Jar
Museli + Almond/Soy/Coconut Milk in a jar together overnight.
Grab and go, you busy healthypants, you.
Simple. Pour and enjoy. But I do ask that you take the time to savor, enjoy, and eat mindfully - as that is actually what inspired the name for the Seven Sundays brand.
