This easy muesli recipe is one of my holiday gifts this year. I love making homemade gifts, and I have included some info on how to package this if you’d like to give it as a gift.
I love the glass canning jars, and they come in colors now… I’ve seen green and purple at Target. Here is a sample of them in the photo below. They work great for storing the muesli.
I also found these cute tin containers* and ordered the 1/2 gallon size. They’re probably better for shipping.
I was amazed to see that original brand, Familia, at Whole Foods recently, and they even have a sugar-free version. It’s very good. But, why not make it yourself? The ingredients are pretty handy, and it’ll probably save you money. It is good for a reason.

- Overnight Chia Oats
Muesli is one of those foods that I’ve been eating since college. I remember having is at the youth hostels we’d travel to in Europe back then. Even saw the factory at some point… It’s great for breakfast, but also good for a snack or dessert.
This recipe has oats, wheat flakes, quinoa flakes, hemp hearts, ground flaxseeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, cocont flakes, and raisins. A whole grain, no-oil added mix of nourishing grains, nuts and seeds for vegan, plant-based start to your day.
It is SUPER nutritious and is filling enough to last to lunch. Top with homemade or store-bought soy yogurt, a few berries and your favorite non-dairy milk and boy that’s a delicious breakfast.

Hi I love your recipes you really should use organic because if you don’t than you are still eating the gmo’s nag msg
I always use organic when I can, especially for soy products or corn and others. Followers always have the option to purchase organic, but some may feel that they can’t afford it. Of course, our health is our greatest wealth! Perhaps you’ve inspired me to write an article about this topic ????
I love this! I actually made this for friends this holiday. I used all organic and it was so tasty! I also used some holiday themed tin containers from here. https://atlanticcan.com/tin-containers/cookie-candy-nut-tins/. I also wrapped the tins with bows to add a little extra something to them. A great and healthy way to enjoy the holidays and much better than getting more cookies in my opinion!
Hey Eric, I love giving homemade gifts for the holidays and I’m so glad you used the muesli recipe for yours this year. I love the unique tins in your link, too! It’s so fun spreading the word about healthy eating and your friends are so lucky to have someone so thoughtful. This year I gave my friends some of my oil-free salad dressing recipes and a unique glass salad dressing container. I’ll have to write more posts covering these gift ideas. Oh, and my granola recipe is another good option. Thanks so much for sharing!
How do you make it though?
