Homemade muesli has always been one of my preferred choices of breakfast. To me, it meets so many of the requirements that I personally want from my breakfasts - energy dense, nutrient dense, the chew factor (chewing is a great stress reliever, believe it or not), low sugar, and it keeps me full for ages.

When I became a single mother four years ago, I had to find ways to ensure I could eat a nourishing and nutrient-dense diet with a smaller food budget each week. This taught me a new appreciation for foods that I previously had dismissed and not had any interest in trying, yet they were foods that supplied us with a great deal of nourishment at a much cheaper price. Some of the foods that I began to look at included vegetarian protein options such as chickpeas and lentils, and although these don't contain full protein chains like meats do (a fancy technical term meaning that they don't contain all the nine protein bits that we need), if I combined them with each other correctly I was getting everything I needed. At a fraction of the price!
One of the biggest questions people want to know is always about how and what to eat. And this is no wonder, when you look at all the many different thoughts, theories and diets out there recommending such a wide array of notions and ideas.
Carbohydrates get a bad rap sometimes, in this dieting world we live in. Many people ban them in a belief they are bad for our body's and the culprit that creates obesity. While there is some truth amongst these fears, it is not as black and white as we often think. There is a huge variation within the maconutrient carbohydrate, and on one end we have healthy and nourishing foods and on the other end we have white processed wheat, refined sugar and foods that contribute no nourishment to our body's.
