Protein Apple Muesli

Protein apple muesli. This version of overnight oats is made with Greek yogurt and seeds for a higher protein breakfast option. Add apples for a fruit-sweetened breakfast bowl and switch the Greek yogurt for vegan yogurt for a vegan option.

Yes, I’m here with my second bowl of oatmeal in a week. This time, a protein-packed bowl of muesli because we’re in Switzerland! We’re currently staying on a farm with a view of the Swiss alps and I couldn’t be happier. So it felt appropriate to share this recipe while we’re in the place where muesli first started. We’ve actually seen many muesli shops here in Switzerland and I love it.

Now, I know this is not exactly a warm and cozy fall/winter meal, but it does have apples… Plus, I don’t know about you, but I love oatmeal all year round, warm or cold. Especially one that can be done in only a few minutes. Think of it as overnight oats with extra seeds and a little bit of yogurt (vegan or not). All you need to do is mix all the ingredients together, then let it soak overnight. Easy.

A Few Notes on the Recipe:

To make it higher in protein, I used plain Greek yogurt. However, feel free to use your favorite vegan yogurt instead.

This recipe is very lightly sweetened with apples, but you can easily add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey to taste. Just think of this recipe as a base for all of your favorite oatmeal toppings.

My favorite toppings: Bananas, berries, nuts and of course, nut or seed butter (sunflower seed butter being my favorite here).

Finally, you can use any plant-based milk here. If you choose to use plain soya milk, you’ll get a good 22g protein in this bowl of muesli. Almond milk is good too, but you’ll just get a little less protein. It’s not really a problem, but I wanted to create a high-protein breakfast for those interested.

Also, maybe you’re wondering why I use Greek yogurt and plant-based milk in the same recipe… The reason: I personally can’t tolerate cow’s milk (and I prefer not to drink it), but I do tolerate yogurt on occasion. So just use your favorite yogurt (ideally plain or vanilla) and milk. Make it your own.
