Muesli

How to Make the Best Muesli

Muesli is the ultimate healthy breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time and enjoy all week long. Unlike granola, which is baked with oils and sweeteners, muesli is a raw mixture of oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit—making it naturally lower in fat and sugar while still being incredibly satisfying.

This versatile recipe is completely customizable to your preferences and what you have on hand. Swap in your favorite nuts, try different dried fruits, or add extra seeds for a protein boost. The base of rolled oats provides lasting energy to fuel your morning, while the combination of nuts and seeds delivers healthy fats and essential nutrients.

Whether you enjoy it with cold almond milk for a refreshing start or warm it up with your favorite plant-based milk on chilly mornings, this muesli is a delicious way to begin your day. For a creamier texture, try soaking a portion overnight in the refrigerator—you’ll wake up to a ready-to-eat breakfast that’s both nutritious and delicious.
