VIANNEY: Chocolate muesli: healthy or not?

Chocolate muesli sounds almost too good to be true: healthy and delicious . But is chocolate muesli a good choice? It depends heavily on the type of chocolate and its composition. This article will explain what to look for and how to choose healthy chocolate muesli.


What makes chocolate muesli unhealthy?

  • Milk chocolate with a lot of sugar → can make your breakfast unnecessarily high in calories and sugar.
  • Large amounts of chocolate → more candy than breakfast.
  • Added syrups or coatings → often disguised sugar.

When is chocolate muesli healthy?

  • Dark chocolate (>70%) → contains antioxidants and less sugar.
  • Whole grains → such as coarse oat flakes for fiber.
  • Nuts & seeds → for healthy fats and proteins.
  • Limited amount of chocolate → an accent, not a main ingredient.
Tip: Our Arthur's Muesli is pure and high in fiber. Want extra chocolate? Combine it with our Chocolate Chip Cookies for a healthy twist.

Make your own chocolate muesli

Here's how to make a healthy version in 5 minutes:

  • 50 g muesli
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 10 g dark chocolate (minimum 70%), chopped
  • Optional: coconut flakes or extra nuts

Directions: Mix everything together and serve with yogurt or milk. This creates a chocolate muesli that's both nutritious and delicious.


Alternative: granola with chocolate

Are you a fan of crunch? Then chocolate granola might be just the thing for you. Our Low Carb Granola Nutty Chocolate combines dark chocolate with nuts and seeds, without any unnecessary sugar.


Conclusion

Chocolate muesli can be healthy – as long as you choose a mix with dark chocolate, whole grains, and nuts . Avoid varieties with lots of sugar or coatings. Or choose a proven healthy option like Arthur's Muesli with extra dark chocolate.
