I eat this cereal cold, usually, after soaking it for 10-15 minutes, but it is excellent hot as well. Its very filling so it doesn't take much to make a satisfying breakfast. I appreciate the lack of sugar and fluff; this is real food!

Not sweet like most cereals. 11 healthy ingredients including flaxseed. No junk whatsoever. Zero saturated fat and trans fat. Very filling, great for breakfast. I personally like to eat it everyday - may get bland after a while, so switch to another cereal for a couple of days and come back.

Amazon's price is an added bonus.

I've been eating Famila unsweetened muesli for some 20 years. I've switched to Bob's because I prefer the flavor (fresher)and texture (courser).

This stuff is pretty tasty and pretty darn filling. When I first got my hands on some, I filled a bowl up and added milk. When I was halfway through my bowl I knew I had made to much. This stuff doesn't float like crappy fluff cereal. So when you make some, it seems like you don't have that much. When I was looking at the product I didn't see that it had raisins, but it is brimming with them. Raisin Bran's two scoops has nothing on this stuff. I really like this product and I would like to try more Bob's Red Mill products in the future.

This cereal tastes great and is very nutritious - a really good alternative to bland Quaker Oats...

A word of caution. If you are not familiar with eating oatmeal products and you decide to try this product out, please avoid the mistake I made described in this story:

One morning, I was picking up my friend to carpool to work with. I decided to try his Muesli while waiting in his kitchen so I dumped a bunch of it into a bowl, not realizing how much it was going to be. Well, I finished the entire bowl and I felt great - nice and full. At around 1 pm, however, I felt this *tremendous* pressure in my lower abdomen. So I quickly left my desk for the bathroom while doing my best to hold in what I had know idea was about to come out. Let's just say I was lucky that no one else was in the bathroom. This continued for 6 hours...

I argue for every 1 cup of Muesli expect 1 cubic meter of methane production - at sea level.

This is IT for breakfast!! I eat this for breaky everyday with westsoy organic unsweetened soymilk and fresh blueberries. I feel awesome for hours and I totally feel different if I eat something else. I am a 42 year old female, work out 2x daily, and controlling my carb intake but I was feeling tired as I was slowly losing weight comfortably. So I looked for a very high-quality low-glycemic cereal to eat before my morning workout. I eat a 1/4 cup muesli with 1/2 cup of the soymilk. This combo gives you net 17.5g carbs (23.5g minus 6g fiber)& 8.5g protein. It doesn't initially sound low carb but believe me, those carbs are worth it! OMG! what a difference in my workouts...AND I got over a weight plateau while starting to lose my tummy! Oh and all of the other great benefits each of these ingredients offers your body. TRY IT for a week and notice the difference. If you're not used to an earthier, less sugary food...you'll get used to it and will appreciate the lovely subtle flavors...and HOW you feel and LOOK!

This is the closest cereal I've found to European museli. It is delicious and a handful of extra fruit, or nuts, makes it even more so. Eaten several mornings a week, it will keep your body purring. The case packages offered are an outstanding value over store prices.

Tastes great; healthy; easy to fix. What more could you want? Not only do I give an A+ rating to Bob's Red Mill Products, but my sister worked for Bob for years and not only praises his products, but says great things about the man and his business ethics.

This is really good muesli. The best way to eat it (for me at least) is to buy a nice big tub of low-fat Nancy's yogurt (or any other "real" yogurt) then mix it in a bowl with some of this muesli and a dash of fruit-flavored (some kind of berry is usually the best), sugar-free coffee syrup like Davinci or Torani. That will give you as much protein as a couple eggs, a bunch of complex carbs, low fat and no sugar. It's probably about the best breakfast you can eat and it tastes like it's terrible for you.

Having lived in Switzerland for several years, one of the things I missed coming to this country was the ready availability of good breakfast cereals. I have never quite understood how the sugar-filled granola stuff could ever have been mistaken as healthy and nutritious.

Since the stores in my area do not carry decent müeslis (Trader Joe's has a "blueberry" müesli, whose "blueberries" are actually blueberry-flavored cranberries...), I tried to order online, and ran into this product on Amazon, which I ordered based on the reviews.

It turned out to be a lucky choice. Bob's Red Mill müesli is the way müesli should be: a short list of ingredients (10), none of which require a degree in chemistry to understand. A mix of cereals and nuts, to which a delicious combination of dried fruit add a wonderful fruitiness and a subtle sweetness. Great with cold and warm milk, yoghurt, or as a base for a Bircher-style müesli.

This müesli ranks right there with some of the best stuff you can buy in Switzerland, and if you have ever had müesli there, you know this is no small praise.
