I've been loving muesli with yogurt left in the fridge overnight ... overnight muesli I guess?
nice recipes, thanks! ever since heather (above) said cereal addicts should try muesli i have been looking for some without raisins, but every variety i see has them! (i hate raisins)~but your recipe just calls for oats.. so what is the difference between this summer muesli and overnight oats? either way it looks delicious, i love peaches!
ohhh i wikipedia-ed muesli~"oats, fruit, nuts & seeds"~fabulous!
yummy recipes! i have still not tried muesli. :(

It is way too hot for oatmeal right now, I have been mostly sticking with Kashi cereal and berries.
I'm going to try the Berry Smoothie!! Thanks for the recipes!!
Awesome summer recipes! I've been making hot stuff...and consequently, sweating up a storm in the kitchen. Boo!
Great recipes!
I have been making a lot of cereal/granola bowls with greek yogurt. That stuff is crack!
on hot days? i make NOTHING and rely on cold cereals, yogurts, fruits and anything that does not have to be cooked. kind of lame and lazy but i hate that feeling you get when your body/belly is warmer than the outside temp!
Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous recipes. That muesli sounds great! Can you keep it in the fridge for a while?
Oh how I wish I could revert from my standby bowl of cereal and ice cold soy milk. I do; however, change up the cereal mix everyday.
It always starts with 1/4 C of Fiber Twigs, 1/4 C of Flax flakes, and then whatever fun find I have (some favorites are kashi, granola, puffins, or rasin bran)
I then put my ice cold (and yes, its ice cold because I let the milk sit over ice for a few min and pop it in the freezer until ready to pour) and finally top the bowl with a ton of fresh berries.
This is so devine and totally fills my tummy every morning. I am always entirely full for HOURS!
Good luck with your breakfasts. You're bound to find some great variations.
