Today’s busy lifestyle deprives us of making nutritious meals, especially in the morning when we are busy sorting out our day. While life has become one long Monday with work-from-home, it is easy to lose interest in anything. Yes, even your goal to achieve a lean body for the upcoming wedding season can go for a toss because you are bored of your regular muesli. You had opted for muesli as your breakfast choice as it was quick to make with all the added benefits like weight management by consuming a nutrient-rich breakfast. Like other fibre and protein-rich cereal made of rolled oats, corn and wheat flakes, grains, seeds, dried fruit and other diverse breakfast ingredients, muesli has become a popular breakfast choice.
Bored of your muesli flavour?
"However, even if you are bored of your current muesli flavour, worry not. There is a variety of options available even in muesli. For instance, diet millet muesli. A blend of protein and fibre-rich nuts and dried fruits is made of different finely crushed millets. It is a healthy combination that has a lengthy digestion process, hence keeping you full for longer. Moreover, it is more nutritious than all the other packaged cereals because of its high added sugars. Another additional benefit is that it contains Omega 3 fatty acids that keep heart health in check. Moreover, the antioxidants slow down the ageing process of the skin," states Ms Dolly Kumar, Founder & Director, Cosmic Nutracos, The Parent Company Of Gaia.
