Make-ahead Meusli

This brain-healthy muesli is designed as a shelf-stable, make-ahead option that supports cognitive health with whole grains, anti-inflammatory fats, and polyphenol-rich ingredients. Rooted in MIND, Mediterranean, and Nordic dietary patterns, it focuses on dry, stable components that support blood sugar regulation, vascular brain health, and gut–brain signaling—making it ideal for batch preparation and easy daily use.
