Begin by discussing the benefits of homemade muesli versus store-bought.

Emphasize the importance of using unsweetened, unsalted, and organic ingredients when possible.

Mention that this recipe makes about 16 cups, which is around 16 servings, and can be adjusted to fit your needs.

Add 3 cups of quick cooking rolled oats to a large bowl.

Add 2 cups of brown rice crisps to the bowl.

Add 2 cups of rice puffs to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of wheat puffs to the bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut flakes to the bowl.

Add 0.5 cup of chia seeds to the bowl.

Add 0.5 cup of hemp seeds to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of pumpkin seeds to the bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of sliced or chopped almonds to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of unsalted sunflower seeds to the bowl.

Add 2 cups of dried finely chopped apples to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of chopped raisins to the bowl.

Add a couple of chopped dates to the bowl.

Toss all the ingredients together using clean hands or a big spoon to ensure even mixing.

Break up any chunks of sticky fruit to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.

Discuss storage options, recommending a glass jar with a tight seal to keep the muesli fresh for up to a month.

Suggest making smaller batches if desired, as it’s easy to mix up fresh muesli when running low.

Describe three ways to enjoy the muesli: as cereal with milk, as a warm oatmeal, or as overnight muesli with milk or yogurt in the fridge overnight.

Encourage adding fresh fruit and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
