Bircher muesli - a great way to start your day

The first time i ever had bircher muesli, was from a fruit and veg health shop in north sydney a few years ago, and what i love about it is the natural sweetness from the fruit, the texture from the oats, and the fact that you can dress it up in whichever way you please (fruit, honey, seeds, fresh juices)

Ever since then, i no longer buy it, i make it myself!

This is a great recipe to follow, and by all means switch it up if you like your bircher a bit runny then add more liquid and if not then reduce it for a more thicker consistency.

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup apple juice/O.J/breakkie juice

1 cup grated apple/pear

Half a cup natural yoghurt/or flavoured yogurt

Juice of half a lemon

1 tablespoon honey

1 cup chopped mixed fruit of your choice (berries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, bananaa etc

sultanas or any dried fruits

sunflower seeds

METHOD

Soak oats & seeds in apple juice. Leave in fridge overnight.

When ready to serve mix through yoghurt, fresh fruit, lemon juice and honey.

I also like to top it with sliced almonds, to give it a crunchy texture :O)

ENJOY!!
