I’m pretty sure these three muesli recipes will surprise you. They’re personal inventions that have become my favorite breakfasts, and I especially love them because they remind me of my travels.
Muesli with Orange Juice
In many European hotels, the standard breakfast includes muesli, fruit, and toast. At one German hotel, they offered fresh orange juice, and my husband had the idea to pour it over muesli instead of milk. At first, it seemed unusual, but the taste was unexpectedly delightful—naturally sweet, refreshing, and light! Since then, we’ve never worried about the absence of plant-based milk while traveling—every hotel has orange juice!
I simply pour orange juice over my muesli and add toppings like bananas, berries, kiwi, and a pinch of cinnamon. It’s absolutely delicious
Muesli with “Banana Milk”
However, recently we learned that daily consumption of orange juice may not be the healthiest choice. Some studies suggest that it can increase the risk of serious skin cancers by up to 60% — though no negative effects were found with whole oranges, especially when eaten with the peel. But eating oranges with the peel isn’t exactly appetizing! So, we began searching for alternatives for our daily breakfast, and the best option we found is what we call “Banana Milk.”
To make it, I blend half a banana with a cup of water until it’s a thin, smoothie-like liquid. For extra flavor, I sometimes add 10 grams of walnuts or a small piece of frozen pineapple. The result is a creamy, naturally sweet liquid that makes muesli soft, fresh, and healthy!
Muesli with Beetroot
This is one of my experimental recipes that turned out great! Just like in the “Banana Milk” recipe, I blend half a banana with water, but this time, I add half of a small raw beetroot. The result? A gorgeous color and an even better taste!
The beetroot adds sweetness and an extra boost of nutrients—plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some raw veggies. Highly recommended!
