Bircher muesli with berries
Bircher muesli is universally known to be a really quick and easy breakfast option. This recipe is full of fibre, vitamins and minerals and will provide a slow release of glucose, to keep you full through the morning. In the winter I like adding more nuts or nut butters for extra comfort and energy.
Reccomendation: I absolutely love the Salted Date and Walnut Butter by Nutcessity. They’re much easier to digest than other nut butters thanks to the added coconut flakes and pink salt, which also means you can say good morning to a tidal wave of micronutrients!
