Muesli isn't just for hippies and "crunchy" types anymore. It fills the cereal aisle in the grocery store and is often considered a staple of a healthy diet. And now, the bad news: muesli does not fit into a low-carb diet!

Processed cereals usually contain lots of sugar. Even if you make your own at home, oats, barley, spelt, and rye just have too many carbs.

But if you love cereal, there is a way out. Shredded flaxseed tastes a lot like oatmeal and has almost zero carbs. My wife regularly eats this low-carb muesli for breakfast. Here is her recipe:

Soak the flaxseed in yogurt or curd cheese until it swells slightly (about 15 minutes), so that it will be softer and have more flavor. I prefer soy yogurt, since I like the taste and it has fewer carbs. Fresh berries such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries are a nice addition. You can also experiment with flavors like vanilla, lemon, or orange, especially in winter when fresh berries aren't available. A little cinnamon or cocoa powder will make the muesli a true "winter wonderland". Then add the almonds. We think they taste best when coarsely ground in a hand mill. If you use enough, the muesli will be very filling!
