Do You Make Your Own Muesli?
Other
I used to think it wasn't fit for human consumption lol but I love it now. I do two thirds of large rolled oats to one third bran flakes (or similar) then add whatever I feel like of varying amounts of the following: Dried cranberries, dessicated coconut, mixed seeds, you get the picture. I place in a large container and shake before serving as the lighter stuff settles. I have 3/4 tablespoons mixed with an activia yoghurt every morning as I believe we need the gut bacteria. Has certainly made a difference to my digestive system! I also take a probiotic in capsule form every other day or so.
Hi lynibis i all was buy my muesli but after reading what you do I am going to try and make it. I had gone off the shop brought. And I've not had muesli for a while now. So thanks to you I will make it. So thank very much lynibis.for put me back on my muesli.

Ha ha, you are welcome Nicola. I ran out of activia once and used a Muller corner with the little chocolate balls added to the muesli in the bowl, it was so yummy but have never done it since as it kind of defeats the object.
Muesli was "developed around 1900 by a Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients in his hospital".

So if an educated doctor invented it then it must be fit for human consumption, not sure why you thought otherwise.
To answer your question, no, I don't make my own muesli, I have them purchased for me ready made to eat which saves time and hassle.
I buy it ready made. I used to add extra seeds and fruits to it though as the shop bought ones are mostly just oats. I may try making my own though. I'm always looking for healthier, lower sugar alternatives.
Tasha042 i put in mixed chopped nuts, but only small amounts of the dried fruit because they are sugary.
Our ancestors in the early 1900s survived without this "good bacteria" nonsense that the media want us to believe. It's all placebo anyway.
Our ancestors had a better and healthier diet without loads of sugar , preservatives, chemicals and other rubbish. Those that could afford to eat of course. I don't think any reputable company in this day and age could get away with selling placebos instead of what they advertise. Besides which if you find something that helps you with a health problem it would be silly not to take it. I have based my comment on the benefits to me. It may not be suitable for you of course.
Lynibis Yakult and other probiotics just gave me the runs.
Medical research suggests probiotics are almost useless.

A group of scientists in Israel claim foods that are packed with good bacteria - called probiotics - are almost useless.
The results in the journal Cell, showed in half of cases the good bacteria went in the mouth and straight out the other end.
In the rest, they lingered briefly before being crowded out by our existing microbes.
In what way has it certainly made a difference to your digestive system? It could have just been the extra fibre from the muesli that improved your bowel movements.
Ps I have also had improved health since I cut out sugar and began drinking more water, you look lots younger than me but as you get older looking after your health becomes more important.
cetiyo you may already have good gut bacteria but my gut has been working a lot longer and I had the exact opposite problem, very painful, which I no longer have. Also probiotics need to be taken with prebiotics as they act like a fertiliser for the pros to flourish.
cetiyo yes, but I feel better and that is fine for me. Is there a reason why you are wanting to prove i am not benefiting? You seem to want to argue about it but I would prefer not to and me taking them does not affect you in any way.
