Dairy-Free Blueberry Muesli
Blueberries are one of the greatest health foods of all time, and they're a boon to anyone worried about cellulite. Due to their high concentration of anthocyanins, blueberries contribute to the health of the collagen matrix by neutralizing enzymes that destroy connective tissue and by scavenging free radicals. The anthocyanins also enhance the effects of the vitamin C contained in blueberries. Furthermore, compared to other berries, blueberries (especially wild blueberries) are a good source of vitamin E.

Bananas are rich in potassium which helps fight water retention that could aggravate the appearance of cellulite. In addition, bananas can promote healthy blood flow in the body. Healthy blood circulation ensures that skin cells receive the nutrients they require. Blood flow also rids the body of toxins that may be responsible for cellulite build-up. See the Recipe
Oat and Buckwheat Muesli with Pears and Grapes
Eating a bowl of this nutrition-packed muesli for breakfast is a good way to start your day. The oats it contains provide plenty of fiber and protein, while the pears deliver iodine. Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland which controls the basal metabolic rate, that is, the rate at which the body consumes energy at rest. Iodine deficiency can result in sluggish thyroid activity which in turn can lead to fat gain or hinder fat loss. Furthermore, iodine is believed to be effective at draining toxins that could aggravate cellulite. See the RecipeOat and Wheat Germ Muesli with Apples
Both wheat germ and oats are literally packed with B vitamins which play an important role in converting dietary fat, protein, and carbohydrates into energy. Oats and wheat germ are also rich in zinc which may increase the levels of circulating leptin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite. See the RecipeOriginal Bircher Muesli
