Edit: I've found a method to improve this, I'll edit the post below. Photo attached!
I made a mistake, and bought a bag of muesli thinking it was cereal clusters. There is nobody else to blame other than my stupidity.
I don't think I know how to eat this thing. It's practically rolled oats with bits of fruit and nuts and all bran kind of cereals added in the mix but hardly noticeable.
I tried eating it like cereal, adding it to yoghurt or milk. It tastes like insipid cardboard flakes sprinkled with fruit. I tried cooking porridge with it, that was an improvement but I still find it boring.
Perhaps you have some suggestions on how to actually enjoy eating what's left of it? Bonus points if you know how to make it crunchy.
Thanks
Edit: I don't typically add sugar to things or even buy sugary cereal. My problem with this thing is the texture first and foremost. Thanks for your concern on how much processed foods I don't buy or like are harming my life.
Edit 2: Tried the overnight method, it's better than porridge as the consistency is much firmer and less slimey. Plus, it's cold already.
Toasting or baking on a tray makes it so much better and crispy, it doesn't feel chewing cardboard anymore.
Finally I tried making clusters and this is the best method for me. Just let the muesli soak a few hours in water until it takes a semisolid consistency. I spread the paste in blotches on a tray, and baked for around an hour at low heat. These clusters are very crunchy!
Photo shows the round container with the muesli straight out of the bag vs the toasted and clustered versions I made in the other container.
