Yum. Interesting, wonder where you are that there is no muesli? I'm in CA and can get muesli at my local Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

- partitioned 3y agoI live on the east coast and have never heard of it.
- tssva 3y agoI live on the east coast also and all the grocery stores near me sell at least one brand of muesli. Walmart even sells muesli.
- hedora 3y agoYou have to be a bit careful when picking a brand. All of the stores mentioned here (Walmart, Trader Joes and Whole Foods) carry museli that is loaded with sugar, which it shouldn’t contain. They generally also carry have options that aren’t just crunchy candy, but be prepared to read a lot of nutrition labels before you find one.
- tssva 3y agoGrains, nuts and dried fruit all contain sugar so muesli will contain some sugar. The key is to not buy muesli with added sugar. Walmart and most of the grocery stores around me sell Bob's Red Mill muesli which doesn't have any added sugar. The grocery store I normally use also sells Alpen brand. I bought some Alpen No Sugar Added muesli there a couple of days ago because it was on sale.
- pfranz 3y agoYeah, you should be careful when picking a brand, but I don't see muesli with loaded sugar at those places. Are you looking at granola? First off, I haven't seen them in my local stores (outside of Bob's Red Mill[1]). Walmart's website also mentions Familia Swiss Muesli Cereal, says "No added sugar" on the front and the nutritional values don't look far off. Trader Joe's also looks comperatble to Bob's Red Mill[2] [1] https://www.bobsredmill.com/old-country-style-muesli.html https://www.bobsredmill.com/old-country-style-muesli.html [2] https://www.whatsgoodattraderjoes.com/2021/01/trader-joes-muesli.html https://www.whatsgoodattraderjoes.com/2021/01/trader-joes-mu...
- cpsempek 3y agoWeird, not my experience. The Trader Joes version has no added sugars (see here https://traderjoesrants.com/2021/09/19/trader-joes-muesli-cereal/ https://traderjoesrants.com/2021/09/19/trader-joes-muesli-ce...) and the Whole Foods brand I see is Bob's Red Mill Muesli which also contains no added sugars (https://www.bobsredmill.com/old-country-style-muesli.html https://www.bobsredmill.com/old-country-style-muesli.html).
- wirrbel 3y agoIt’s a Swiss dish consisting of soaked rolled oats. Raw oatmeal if you will. People usually add fruits to it, and or nuts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muesli https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muesli
- nozzlegear 3y agoI was going to chime in and say I’ve never heard of this either, but after checking the Wikipedia link I know exactly what this is. Where I am in northwest Iowa, everyone just calls this “overnight oats/oatmeal”. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word Muesli before.
- staticfish 3y agoovernight oats isn't really the same as musili
- wirrbel 3y agoDepends on what you take as your baseline. The original Müsli is overnight oats with some added fruit / some nuts.
- nozzlegear 3y agoAh okay, I just looked at the picture and read the brief description of cold oats left overnight and assumed they’re the same thing. If that’s not the case then I’ve definitely never heard of muesli before today.
- wirrbel 3y agoI think overnight oats aren’t that far from the original musli, but many people think Müsli is lower-sugar granola which is not the case
- dawnerd 3y agoAldi fairly frequently carries it too.
