Muesli is one the most healthful foods there is and very easy to prepare; it was one of Kou's favorite breakfast foods while growing up. It is delicious cold but may be served warm on a cold day! This is my all time favorite go-to recipe for breakfast. It is loaded with nutrient-rich ingredients which provide everything from anti-oxidants to plenty of complex carbohydrates and protein that jump-start your day but sustain you through to lunchtime.
The following recipe will make 2 servings; you can multiply the amounts to suit your needs. Feel free to vary and change the spices, nuts, dried and fresh fruit, berries, etc according to the season and your preference. Although the muesli is quite sweet and satisfying with all the fruit and soy milk, you may like to sweeten it with a little maple syrup or brown sugar.
