Named after a Swiss physician, Bircher muesli features fresh apple, lemon juice and nuts. We added to this refreshing combo by including chia seeds for a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, and we finish our version with a mix of fresh berries for color and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (see Tip)

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 ¼ cups whole-milk plain yogurt

  • 1 medium Fuji apple, unpeeled, cored and grated (1 cup)

  • ¼ cup chia seeds

  • 4 dried figs, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ cups mixed fresh berries (such as blueberries, blackberries and strawberries)

  • ¼ cup slivered almonds

  • Honey for serving (optional)

Method

  1. Stir oats, almond milk, yogurt, apple, chia seeds, figs, lemon juice and cinnamon together in a large bowl until well blended. Portion 1 cup of the mixture into each of 4 (16-ounce) containers, and cover each with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the oats soften, at least 8 hours or up to 5 days.
