Looking for a quick, nutritious snack that’s easy to prepare and packed with fiber, protein, and essential vitamins? This Muesli recipe is a healthy, balanced snack or breakfast option that can be tailored to your taste with seasonal fruits and your favorite toppings like seeds, nuts, or coconut flakes. It’s perfect for busy mornings or a mid-day energy boost and can be prepared in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Muesli Mix

• 1 cup of oats (80g)
• 1 apple (182g)
• 1 small box of raisins (28.3g)
• 2 tablespoons of lime juice (30g)
• Optional toppings: hemp seeds, chia seeds, pepitas, coconut flakes, nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew), or sunflower seed butter
• Optional fruit toppings: diced strawberries, peaches, fresh berries

Instructions

1. Put one cup of dry oats in a strainer and rinse it with water for about a minute, or soak it briefly.
2. Let the oats drain, then transfer them to a bowl.
3. Grate the apple and mix it with the oats.
4. Add the lime juice, honey (if desired for sweetness), and raisins to the oat-apple mixture.
5. Stir in your favorite toppings, such as hemp seeds, chia seeds, pepitas, or coconut flakes. If you're looking for added protein, you can also add nut butter (or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option).
6. Optionally, you can top the Muesli with fresh seasonal fruits like strawberries, peaches, or berries.
7. For the best flavor, refrigerate for a few hours before eating, although it can be enjoyed immediately as well.

Muesli Tips

Here are three helpful tips for making and enjoying muesli:

Prep Ahead for a Quick Breakfast: Muesli can be made the night before and stored in the fridge. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamier texture by morning. Plus, it saves time during busy mornings!

Customize to Your Nutritional Needs: You can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your nutritional preferences. For more protein, add Greek yogurt, nut butter, or protein powder. If you're looking for a fiber boost, toss in flaxseeds or chia seeds.

Experiment with Seasonal Fruits: To keep your muesli fresh and exciting, swap out the fruit according to the season. Fresh berries in the summer, apples and pears in the fall, and citrus fruits in the winter can make a big flavor difference.
