This version of muesli is made in the traditional Swiss style, soaked overnight with milk or yogurt so the oats soften and absorb flavor. The fresh berries add natural sweetness, juiciness, and color, while the nuts and pepitas provide crunch and nutrition. It’s light yet satisfying, packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants. Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast or a quick morning meal that feels indulgent but stays wholesome.
