Ingredients
- [1 1/2 cups familia Original or No Added Sugar Swiss Muesli]
- 1 1/4 cups milk we like organic grass fed, whole milk
- 3/4 cup heaping plain, whole milk yogurt (you may use fruit flavored, but you will be adding sugar)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1/4 cup blood orange juice replace with regular orange juice, unfiltered apple juice, cherry, etc.
- 2 unpeeled apples chopped or grated
Optional Topping and Mix-Ideas
- 10 strawberries thinly sliced
- 1/2 banana thinly sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/8 cup pine nuts toasted (optional)
- 1/8 cup slivered almonds toasted (optional)
- Protein powder or collagen
- Peanut butter or other nut butters or powdered nut butters
- coconut
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl (holds at least 4-5 cups) add dry muesli mix, yogurt, milk, orange juice and stir.
- Once combined; add apples, other fresh fruit (see tips below), toasted nuts and stir gently to combine. Leave standing on the counter at least 10 minutes or even better, place in refrigerator overnight. These oats, gets better with time. The original recipe says it keeps refrigerated for 48 hours, but honestly, I've made a batch and noshed on it for about 4 days and it's tasted just fine.
- MUESLI TIPS & ADD INS
- Do not add "mushier" fruit to the muesli until ready to eat, such as bananas and strawberries.
- Keep muesli tightly sealed with a cover or plastic wrap.
- Give it a stir before serving, allowing it to sit on counter for 10 minutes before serving adds creaminess.
- Be creative; like granola, add nuts, coconut, fresh fruit, dried fruit to your muesli.
- Change up juice and fruit, make it how you like it.
- Use fresh or frozen cherries, raspberries, blackberries in addition or in place of the other fruit.
- HOW TO TOAST NUTS
- Or, place them on a quarter sheet pan in a 325-350° oven for 5-10 minutes, careful as pine nuts tend to brown much quicker.

Notes
- Overnight Oats are all the rage and Bircher Muesli is no different, by allowing the muesli mixture to hang out in the liquids overnight it brings out the flavors, toastiness of the oats and the juiciness of the fruit.
- Serve it up by itself, or add additional fruit to the top, I wait and add my banana and additional fruit as I'm serving it, tossing on a few additional toasted nuts. Oh and I drizzled a little of my Immune Boosting Homemade Elderberry Syrup on top.
- Why you ask? Why not! The more immune boosting factors I can add to my foods, means the more I am able to occasionally indulge in a Honey Bran Muffin or Banana Graham Bread.
