Ok first recipe post folks! This has become my healthy, easy, go to breakfast lately. It has heart healthy oats to fill you up and keep you going until late in the morning, calcium and good bacteria for your gut from the yogurt, at least two of your recommended 5 a day, and some protein, fibre and good minerals from the nuts. Make it the night before to let the oats absorb all the juice and flavour, makes your morning routine even easier too! The great thing about this recipe is you can adapt it to your heart's desire- add cinnamon, vanilla, use whatever fruit you have on hand or is in season. I've used bags of frozen berries will real success- the fruit melts overnight & infuses the mixture with the juice! Yummy.
Bircher Muesli
Makes approx 4 servings
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain, non-fat (can use fat free if you want) yogurt
1 large apple, grated
1-2C (to taste) fresh fruit, chopped if necessary. I've used fresh or frozen berries, chopped pears and apples, dried apricots all with success!
One handful nuts (almonds or pecans are good but feel free to experiment) chopped
A drizzle of honey, to taste
Mix ingredients in a large bowl or Tupperware, leave overnight. You can add a few tablespoons of orange juice or apple juice in the morning if it looks too dry.
Divide into bowls, drizzle with more yogurt or honey if desired to serve. I've eaten it over three or four days with no ill effects.
Would love to hear your feedback or adaptations with this recipe! Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
