Muesli and yogurt is a popular breakfast option for those who are looking for a healthy and tasty meal to start their day. You can have everything in one bowl, and enjoy it too: protein, fiber, and vitamins!

Muesli is super easy to put together at home. I like to make mine in batches so I have some in my pantry all the time! All you need to do is combine rolled oats, olive oil, honey, almonds, cinnamon, and vanilla and lightly bake. Then, combine it with yogurt and fruits for the perfect crunchy muesli breakfast!
