Cranberry Muesli

:  November/December 2007

Your rating: None Average: 4.3 (62 votes)

There may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up—a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are.
