Bircher Muesli
This recipe is my take on Dr Bircher's version created in the 1900"s. He used raw food to treat his patients and designed a cereal to energize the body. It is really tasty and easy to make. A guaranteed good start to your day.
Ingredients
- 200g rolled oats (about 2 cups).
- 350ml apple juice.
- 1 red apple, grated.
- 125g natural or Greek yoghurt.
- Seasonal berries or fresh fruit.
- A handful of toasted almonds or hazelnuts to serve.
- Honey, to drizzle.
Method
- Place the oats in a bowl, and add the apple juice. Cover and chill in the fridge overnight. The mixture will thicken.
- Remove the next day and stir the grated apple into the oat mixture with fruit of your choice.
- Serve the muesli topped with a little Greek yogurt, and toasted almonds or hazelnuts.
- For a slightly sweeter finish drizzle with a little honey.
Storage
- The oat mixture can be kept in the fridge for up to a couple of days.
