Porridge is great in winter, but I can’t eat it all year round. Bircher
muesli is a wonderful & very healthy alternative to straight old
porridge, so if you’re feeling like a change or trying to get kids to
eat it with no luck, this is the best breakfast in the world! It’s low
GI & has a good balance of carbs to proteins.
You can be really creative here also & make up your own versions.
Try soaking your oats in different juices, use a wide range of fresh
summer fruits when in season, use different spices, & nuts. You can
also add some dried fruit like, raisins if fresh fruit is seasonally
low.
1 cup oats (not whole oats, the quicker cooking oats is better)
1 cup of organic apple juice
1 grated cooking apple like granny smith, skin on
1 cup greek or low fat yoghurt, unsweetened
Stir through & refrigerate over night
A sprinkle of any spice you like to taste added to a cup of yoghurt:
Cinnamon
All spice
Nutmeg
Ginger
Vanilla seeds from pod (if you are feeling truly decadent)
A handful of chopped seeds & nuts:
Sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Walnuts (nice with maple)
Slivered almonds
Coconut flakes
Hazelnuts
Pecans
Fresh fruit or frozen thawed & whizzed:
Raspberries very yummy
Blueberries
Pineapple (organic tinned is yum in summer)
Melons
Organic oranges
What ever you can think of!!!
Mix it all together really well, you can puree the fruit first if you
like, then drizzle a small amount of either organic maple syrup (the
real stuff!) apple syrup, or my favorite & by far the healthiest
organic blue agave.
