Protein Packed Bircher Muesli

We’ve prepared an autumn-inspired version of this classic Swiss dish with apple, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon. Very similar to overnight oats, Bircher Muesli is a perfect meal prep option. We chose skyr for its thick and creamy texture, low fat content, and of course its richness in protein! A great alternative to boost your protein intake in a balanced meal.

This breakfast is both filling and energizing—perfect to start the day!
