Raspberry Pistachio Muesli by Leela Cyd

It’s hard to eat healthy at home when your mornings are totally hectic.

Leela Cyd’s recipe for Raspberry Pistachio Muesli is a sweet solution that’s also totally portable in a Weck Jar and way better than any pre-packaged bar.

The muesli “cooks” overnight in your fridge so it’s simple to prepare in pre-work panic mode. It also tastes so good that you might forget you’re rushing out of the house. Read on for Leela’s recipe.

“I love having a few meals already prepped in the fridge for grabbing on the go – these muesli cups with layers of fresh fruit are the perfect light bite.” – Leela Cyd

Raspberry Pistachio Muesli

1 cup rye flakes (or rolled oats)
1/3 cup lightly crushed pistachios, plus a little more for garnish
2 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 dried fig, roughly chopped
1 cup whole milk
½ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
1 apple, cored and shredded in a box grater
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons mango juice

1. In a small bowl, mix together rye flakes, pistachios, chia seeds, salt and the chopped dried fig. In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt, vanill and honey together. Pour the oat mixture into the milk and stir to combine. Stir in shredded apple, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

2. When ready to serve, gently mash 3 ½ cups of the raspberries with the mango juice, leaving plenty of chunks. Spoon a thin layer of muesli into the bottom of a 12.05 ounce short Weck jar, add a layer of raspberry mash. Repeat once more and garnish top with fresh raspberries and extra crushed pistachios.

3. Serve immediately or cover and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
