Bircher Muesli Recipe

There are so many breakfast cereals to choose from, but beware of the amount of

sugar they contain. The best breakfast is still eggs – poached, boiled, scrambled –

however you like them, they are a really good source of protein that will help you to

feel satiated throughout the morning.

If you are more of a sweet breakfast fan then Bircher Muesli is also a great option.

And if you can’t be bothered to make you own muesli, just buy a good one (low in

sugar preferably) and soak it as instructed in the recipe – the soaking process helps

to break down the food and makes it easier to digest.
