Recipe. Apple Bircher Muesli or Porridge

A great high-fibre way to start your day. Oats and apples contain soluble fibre that supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar, feeds your good bacteria and helps to keep you regular—ginger and cinnamon warm the digestive system.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup of oats
  • 1 tbsp of shredded coconut
  • ½ tsp of cinnamon powder
  • ¼ tsp of ginger powder
  • 1 small apple grated
  • Optional – 1 tbsp sultanas or raisins

To serve

Milk or plant milk (almond, soy, oat milk)
Or
Plain Yoghurt

For an extra antioxidant top with berries or kiwifruit

Prepare the night before

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir thoroughly
  2. Add enough water to cover the dry ingredients
  3. Cover the bowl with a cloth or kitchen paper and leave on the kitchen bench overnight (this allows for natural fermentation to encourage good gut bacteria)

At breakfast time

You should find that all the water has been absorbed into the dry ingredients.
