Bircher muesli

Makes 3 servings @ 370 calories each

I made a batch of this to last me for three breakfasts, just to make it all a bit easier. Basically , you need to soak the oats and dried fruit and nuts in the juice and milk, and then in the morning, add in the fresh fruit and yoghurt.

1 cup oats (I used instant oats)

½ cup apple juice

½ cup skim milk

1 tablespoon seeds – sunflower, pumpkin etc

12 walnuts or a tablespoon slithered almonds

2 tablespoons dried blueberries or cranberries

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon mixed spice

In each bowl:

1 apple, grated or finely chopped

(Could substitute for other fruit – sliced banana, chopped fresh pineapple, pear etc)

1 tablespoon natural, low fat yoghurt

 

Method: Combine oats, apple juice, milk, nuts, seeds and dried fruits in a bowl and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, add in the fresh fruit and yoghurt and combine well.

Drizzle with some honey if you want a bit more sweetness.
