About Muesli with milk

Muesli with milk is a wholesome breakfast dish that originated in Switzerland, created by Swiss doctor Maximilian Bircher-Brenner in the early 1900s. It traditionally combines raw rolled oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and fresh milk, though variations may include yogurt or non-dairy milk. Nutritionally, muesli is high in dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, and plant-based protein, while milk contributes calcium, vitamin D, and essential fats. Together, they provide a balanced meal rich in energy, micronutrients, and macronutrients, making it an excellent choice for a healthy start to the day.

• Offers a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids (if flaxseeds or walnuts are included), which support heart health.
