Low GL Breakfast Muesli Recipe

• Tweet

Here’s a healthy, ‘low-glycemic load’ muesli recipe to get you started in the morning.

What I suggest you do is keep the following ingredients together in a large container; that way you can just pour it out like cereal from a box (just make sure you mix it all together in the correct ratio).

For 1 serving you’ll need:

(1) 25g (1oz) oat flakes – 88 calories

(2) 15g ground almonds – 85 calories

(3) 1/2 tbsp pumpkin seeds – 28 calories

(4) 1/2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts - 45 calories

(5) 1/2 tbsp sunflower seeds – 33 calories

(6) 125ml Glass  (1/2 Cup) full-fat Milk - 83 calories

Total GLs - 5GLs

Total Calories – 362

I would encourage you to wash down a small protein shake to go with this in the morning. Alternatively, pour on a vanilla whey protein shake using the glass of milk from the recipe to get a blast of muscle-building protein in your muesli.

With 25grams of protein, the calorie count comes to 462.

Optional – This is best sweetened with one of the following:

• stevia – 0GLs
  
• truvia – 0GLs
• erythritol – 0GLs
• 10g xylitol – 1GL
• splenda – 0GLs (if you don’t mind artificial sweeteners)

Or you could throw on some berries for sweetness instead.
