Bircher Muesli

Bircher Muesli is a very delicious, healthy and nutritious way to start your day! Try out this quick and easy bircher muesli recipe and see what you think (any left overs can be kept in the fridge for a few days).

NB. This bircher muesli recipe needs to stand overnight to soften the oats, so you will need to make this in advance.

Bircher Muesli Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup natural yoghurt
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 granny smith apple, grated

Bircher Muesli Recipe Method

Mix the oats, water and lemon juice together, cover and pop in the fridge to stand overnight. The next morning, stir through the yoghurt, honey and grated apple until well combined. Serve with thick, sweet greek yoghurt and any fruit that is in season (we have used stewed plums). You may also like to sprinkle with some toasted almonds or other nuts for crunch.

by Clair on August 13, 2009

Strawberries and yoghurt go almost as well together as strawberries and cream (and yoghurt is certainly a bit better for you!), and this smoothie makes a delicious treat. If strawberries aren’t in season, then you could substitute frozen strawberries.

Strawberry and Yoghurt Smoothie Recipe Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1 tbsp strawberry yoghurt
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 200ml milk (you could use full cream, skim or soy milk)

Strawberry and Yoghurt Smoothie Recipe Method

Place ingredients into a blender or into the stick blender cup and whizz until smooth.
