In preparation for our Maui trip this year I decided to do a few more recipe revamps on the blog of some of my favorite, and still popular recipes. These revamps are such a great way to take old content (sometimes with embarrassingly bad photography…at least I’ve come a long way?!) and give them new life. I’m sure if you are a regular reader you see that I do this on occasion and it’s always nice to see these old posts get some fresh love!
Today’s breakfast muesli is a favorite of mine and has been for years. I’m actually pretty sure I ate this for breakfast every morning for about 6-months straight back in 2015. Seriously! It’s just so tasty, fresh, simple, and perfectly filling for those who like to be satisfied but not stuffed at breakfast.
This breakfast muesli recipe is easy, filling, healthy and quick – which is what everyone can benefit from in the morning, right?? In less than 5-minutes this bowl can be easily whipped up, providing the body with complex and simple carbohydrates for energy, fibre for healthy digestion, proteins for blood stabilization and fats for that satisfying factor! This breakfast bowl is definitely well balanced.
This is actually a breakfast that I’ve been making myself while here in Maui too as it’s a great way to start the day before heading off to the beach or out for a snorkel.
One of the best things about this breakfast bowl is that you really can get creative with the recipe and alter it to your liking. Change up the berries to different fruit, swap out different brands of muesli, use Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, or almond yogurt, and sprinkle with your favourite fun toppings like cocoa nibs, hemp seeds, and toasted coconut.
The sky’s the limit with this one!
I’d actually love to host a friends brunch in the future and make breakfast muesli bowls the main dish with a table spread with all the different add-ins and toppings. Wouldn’t that be a fun way to gather with friends, enjoy a healthy meal, and get creative at the same time?
Breakfast Museli Brunch Party. It’s happening, you just wait!
What’s your favorite quick and easy breakfast? Tell me about it in the comments below and be sure to pin the photo after the recipe to save this post for later and of course, share the love!
- ½ cup plain dairy-free Coconut yogurt (or plain 0% fat Greek yogurt if dairy-free isn't needed)

- ½ cup fresh sliced strawberries
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ banana, sliced
- 1 tsp honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios

Have a lovely Sunday,
Aloha!

March 3, 2019 at 8:04 pmI would totally enjoy this muesli with protein pudding (protein powder + water + Stevia)! Healthy, convenient, and beautifully colorful breakfast! Muesli is definitely an ingredient I need to try to replicate at home. And I’d gladly attend your muesli party!

February 16, 2015 at 12:07 pmThis looks great! I, too still cringe at my photographs. Going to a food styling course next month and it is long overdue! Will give this one a try! Thanks!

February 15, 2015 at 11:33 amThere is definitely a change in photography and some adjustments to the ingredients used, but I bet they are still both packed full of awesome flavour 😀 Both bowls sounds heavenly, and with that much colourful fruit – it’s impossible not to enjoy with a smile on your face first thing in the morning 🙂 Yum!
I haven’t seen coconut yogurt in the shops here yet, fingers crossed it wont be long in the coming though! Have a fantasmic Sunday! x

February 15, 2015 at 3:06 pmOoo Coconut yogurt is so yummy, I hope you get some there soon so you can try it! 🙂

February 15, 2015 at 7:53 amQuick question…what brand of coconut yogurt do you use? I am dairy-free & REALLY miss yogurt… have tried one brand of coconut yogurt & the taste was repulsive!
Christal says
February 15, 2015 at 8:32 amI use the So Delicious plain coconut yogurt and add a little stevia to sweeten it! 🙂
