Morphology

muesli + muncher

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from the constituents: 'muesli' (a breakfast cereal) + 'muncher' (someone who chews/eats). This simple noun+agent pattern is compositionally predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended sense.

Etymology

Muesli muncher comes from the clear picture of someone happily crunching a bowl of muesli at breakfast. Because muesli is linked to healthy food and muncher means 'one who eats', the phrase came to mean 'a person who often eats muesli' or 'a health-minded eater'.
