BIRCHER MUESLI BREAKFAST RECIPE

WHAT IS BIRCHER MUESLI?

Put simply, Bircher Muesli is oats soaked overnight with milk or yoghurt. It was created by a Swiss Physician in the early 1900s as a nutritious morning food with the aim to aid therapy. I was introduced to this breakfast by my friend Lucy and have been in love with it ever since. The best thing about Bircher Muesli is that it’s so quick and simple to make and you can pretty much add whatever you like into it, using whatever you have in the cupboards to make it as yummy and as healthy as you like.

I add seeds, nuts, frozen berries and dried fruit into mine, however you can adapt the ingredients to fit your preferences. I also use almond milk instead of dairy milk, however; again this is just a preference.

Lucy’s Bircher Muesli Recipe

40g Oats

5tbsp Almond Milk (enough to cover oats)

2tsp Chai Seeds

Handful mixed frozen berries

1tbsp chopped dried fruit (I like cranberries)

½ tbsp coconut flakes

1tbsp nuts and seeds of preference

Make this the night before and enjoy in the morning or even as a mid day snack. You can also sprinkle over more berries and seeds before eating to add some extra nutrients.

Happy eating!
