Introduction

Muesli (pronounced myoo-slee) has been around for a long time, originating in Switzerland where it is often served as a light dinner. In America, it’s a fairly common breakfast dish, usually sold as a dry cereal. However, this recipe is a wet muesli, prepared with yogurt, milk, and juice, which soak into the oats and create a heavenly texture. It is simply delicious and is ideal for breakfast, brunch, and, yes, even dessert. It’s so decadent and creamy, you won’t believe that it’s actually chock full of good-for-you ingredients. Perfect for beautiful spring and summer weather. Muesli (pronounced myoo-slee) has been around for a long time, originating in Switzerland where it is often served as a light dinner.

Ingredients

    1 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1 cup orange juice
    1 small carton (six ounces) of plain or vanilla yogurt (I recommend Greek yogurt)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    3-4 tablespoons honey (this depends on whether your yogurt is already sweetened)
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    1 apple, cored and grated with skin
    1 cup blackberries
    1 cup strawberries, diced
    1 cup nuts, loosely chopped (try cashews, hazlenuts, or walnuts)

Tips

TIP: Modify the recipe to incorporate your favorite fruits and nuts. Mangoes, strawberries, raspberries, raisins, dried cranberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, and bananas are all great compliments to this dish. Remember to incorporate bananas just before serving to maintain their color and firmness.
