Tamari Toasted Seeds and Grains
Our gluten-free muesli is surprisingly good sprinkled on salads. It adds crunch and extra nutrition from the delicious seeds, grains and chickpeas in the muesli. Lightly toasting the muesli and adding tamari gives it an extra yummy savoury flavour and is so simple to do.

High Protein Berry Banana Smoothie Bowl
Shelley from Santosha Health Coaching shared her favourite high-protein breakfast recipe using Te Atatu Toasted Paleo Muesli. She says most of us are under-eating protein. We need at least one gram for every kilogram of body weight, which means aiming for around 30g at breakfast.
