Muesli and other healthy granola
Does anyone have any recommendations for the best Muesli/healthy granola in town? I want some good stuff (price not an object since it is just a few bucks different here or there) for fruit and yogurt in the morning.
Any suggestions?

You can find Familia muesli (made in Switzerland) with no added sugar or oil at lots of places in the area--Whole Foods, Rodman's, etc. This is the real thing. Granola often is made with lots of oil, which is why I stopped eating it decades ago and switched to authentic muesli. You can also make it yourself, which is what I do--it is way cheaper than buying it.

- I can strongly recommend the blue box version - no added sugar. -

the most common misconception about granola is the assumption that it's a healthful food. most of the packaged products - yes, even the ones at whole foods - are far from nutritious. they're calorie-dense, often loaded with sugar and fat, and very rarely filling/satisfying for an appropriate serving size [which is much smaller than you probably think]. plus, i think most the granolas on the market right now taste like crap.
muesli or homemade granola is a much healthier way to go.

re: goodhealthgourmet
I completely agree with goodhealthgourmet. I currently live in Germany and am a fan of Seitenbacher's breakfast muesli which is without added sugar etc. When Jordan's crunchy (granola) came out in the UK a long time ago I was very excited and used to eat it in handfuls and then I found out it was really fattening and worse than chocolate! I lived in Italy for a while where it was even hard to get oatmeal and am going back to the mediterranean so I shall miss all these things:)
