The Fell Foodie’s muesli recipe

Packed with fibre and complex carbohydrates, muesli is the perfect breakfast for fueling your morning swim. Recipe by the Fell Foodie, Harrison Ward

Packed with fibre and complex carbohydrates, muesli is a breakfast that will fuel you through any morning activity. Shop-bought muesli is often extremely high in added sugars which can cause energy levels to crash in the hours after consumption, but a home-made blend can keep you marching on. The original Swiss blend contains grated apple, but I keep my mix dry so that it’s easy to increase the portion size and carry it on a multi-day adventure.
