I love oatmeal. It offers more fiber, less sugar and better satiety than boxed breakfast cereal. Not to mention it's quite a bit cheaper to make in the long run and allows you to make a new variation everyday!

I also love hot weather. Swimming, suntan, shades, I really don't need to explain this one.

I do not, however, love hot oatmeal on a hot day.


Luckily, for or the summer months, there is no better solution than Muesli! (pronounced mew-slee) which is basically cold oats soaked with milk, yogurt, and your choice of flavorings. Best of all you make it the night before you plan on eating to let the oats soak up all that good stuff so its ready to go when ever your done with your morning swim, run, ride, coffee, or graceful roll out of bed.

Have you tried Muesli yet? What varieties have you dreamt up?
