Effectively Carb-balanced Müsli

Yoghurt with müsli is a fixed part of my breakfast since I was a kid. A morning just isn't right without it. Unfortunately, the müsli makers are not exactly trying to make low-carb müslis in general - mostly they combine cereals with sugars and call it healthy because there's a smidge of fiber in there. A few high-protein müslis have started to appear, mostly based on soy protein, and so far universally boring in taste and texture. So, following the lead of my mother, I have started making my own, adding things for texture and protein as I feel fit. According to my calculations, this has a 2.27:1 carb:protein balance, 1.83:1 if you count fibers as negative carbs ("effective carbs"). That is already a lot better than the typical 6:1 or 7:1 of standard müslis.
