Where did bircher muesli originate?

It originated in the swiss alps

How long can I store this in the fridge?

This will keep up to 3-4 days

Can this be made ahead of time?

Ideal for prepping ahead of time, Bircher Muesli is the original overnight refrigerator oats! You can either store it in individual glass jars or just keep it all in one container and scoop it out in the morning.

For added crunch and tartness I like to add in shredded apples and a splash of fresh lemon juice.

We always have our favorite Bob’s Red Mill Muesli on hand which I love using because it is unsweetened. The dried fruit gives it just the right amount of natural sweetness and the nuts and seeds add tons of protein and nutrients.
