Victory Dance Foods muesli is the perfect base to create your 21st-century Bircher-style muesli. This recipe for Overnight Bircher Muesli was inspired by the original Bircher-Benner Muesli created by Dr. Maximillian Bircher Benner a Swiss Physician. Following Dr. Bircher’s lead, we have added grated apple, and lemon juice with your choice of milk, and we also have added a smashed banana and plain yogurt. If you like it sweeter, just add honey or maple syrup, and if you love it spiced up, add cinnamon. And please, please feel free to adjust amounts; for example, if you like more apples, increase the quantity, or maybe you don’t like bananas, you can omit them. The possibilities are endless.
Make up a whole bag and it’s ready to eat all week. We love making this on Sunday evenings for the week ahead. Check out our recipe tips and tricks to learn our favorite portable and portion friendly way to store muesli for the week!

Using a large spoon mix well.
Transfer a cup or desired serving to a bowl or jars according to preference.

Keep unused portions covered and refrigerated for up to seven days.
For a protein boost, use Greek yogurt in place of traditional yogurt. Because Greek yogurt has a thicker consistency you may want to add a little more milk.
Add the prepared Overnight Bircher Muesli to individual lidded containers and store in fridge for a fast and easy breakfast or after school or gym snack that is also portable.
The Perfect Storage Container Does Exist. Over the years we’ve stored our overnight Muesli in just about any and every container, but our favorite way to store our overnight muesli vessel when we are prepping it for the week is the 324ml Jam Jar by Le Parfait. We have no affiliation to Le Parfait, we are just big fans. Here are a few reasons why we love Le Parfait Jars for meal prepping and especially our overnight muesli:
Size: It’s 11 ounce size allows for a 1 cup plus a little extra with plenty of room for berries and other toppings
Air Tight Seal: it has an air tight metallic lid that is universal. There are no rubber gaskets or metal clamps to keep track of or lose. We also love that the lids are colorful an can be purchased separately in case you lose one!
It’s made of durable glass and it’s multipurpose.
This delicious Vanilla Matcha smoothie is powered by matcha green tea, contains only 5 ingredients and pairs perfectly with our Kale Matcha Garden Granola. To give it a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite plain or vanilla flavored protein powder!
