I started eating Muesli on Holiday a couple of weeks ago. It was nice and filling. So I bought a shed load of items to make my own muesli.

All types of nuts inc. Pine nuts and coconut flakes
Freeze dried fruit
Banana chips
Spelt flakes
Rolled oats and barley
Spelt/Psyllium flakes
Bran flakes
Wheat Germ
Various seeds inc. Sesame, Flax, Chia, Sunflower, Pumpkin
Chopped dates.

I use oatmilk at home and a spoonful of honey and it is absolutely awesome.
Why I never did it before I do not know. The tastes explode. One second nutty, next fruity. Lots of fiber and protein. Fat too but I fast, exercise and eat generally low carb. It keeps me full until evening meal. The amount mixed is about 60 portions.
