Bircher Muesli with Bran
serves 8 (makes 4 cups)
1 cup rolled oates1 cup untoasted muesli
1 cup unprocessed wheatbran
2 cups of hot water
2 table spoons lemon juice
1/4 cup of almonds
200g low - fat flavoured yoghurt (your choice)
1 large green apple grated
150g seasonal fruit (what ever is in...berries, nectarines, peaches, kiwi fruit, bananas) per serve
2 tble spoons of Honey (optional)
Method...Place oates, museli and bran in a large bowl and pour water and lemon juice over. Allow to soak for 30 mins.
Add almonds, yoghurt and apple and stir thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate over night.
Serve with fruit and a drizzle of Honey, plus extra yoghurt if desired.
TIP....Try to avoid using dried fruits. Reason = They are very easily consumed and you dont realise just how much you have consumed. Becasue of thier size people think its ok to eat half or a whole packet of 'Apricots or Bananas' etc..The fact is, if you took half a kilo of Bananas and consumed them fresh out of the fruit shop, you would probably feel a bit off (most people would).
The same amout of Kilojoules would be in a 500g packet of dried Bananas etc...Think about it!!!
Bircher muesli keeps for- and actually improves over about four days. Make this recipe on Sunday night and enjoy a nutritious and easy breakfast well into the week.
