5. Granola or Muesli
Depending on where you live, you will find that either granola or muesli is fairly popular but usually not both in the same area. For example, granola is the winner in the United States, whereas in Australia it is muesli that is more popular. In any case, they are very similar and both are good and healthy foods for weight gain. To put it simply: granola is baked, and muesli is not, but the other ingredients are about the same.
So, what’s in it? The main ingredients for both are oats and other grains, nuts, dried fruits, and sugar. In the case of granola there is almost always more sugar, and also oil to bind it together before it’s baked.
Another big difference between granola and muesli is the way it is eaten. While granola has more uses such as a crunchy topping for yogurt and so on, muesli is almost always soaked in a liquid such as milk before eating.
