Swiss muesli is the stuff I grew up with and it’s still one of my favorites. While it was primarily used as a breakfast cereal in my childhood it was also occasionally served as a snack on warm days or even as a light meal or fruity dessert.

Swiss breakfast review
Muesli was invented/created around the turn of the century by the Swiss doctor Maximilian Bircher for the patients in his hospital in Zurich (Switzerland).
He was a pioneer in nutritional research and “cured” his patients with a balanced diet of raw fruits and vegetables a revolution considering the eating habits of the people at that time. The term “muesli” comes from the Swiss dialect word “mus” which literally means puree or pulp. The added “li” simply means “a little”.
Dr. Bircher's original muesli recipe consisted of 1 tablespoon of oatmeal soaked in 2-3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice sweet cream and ground hazelnuts and 200 grams of finely grated apples.
