If you want to eat for endurance, then you’ve come to the right place! Created by Dr Bircher-Benner in the 1890’s as a healthy meal for his patients in his Zurich hospital, this muesli provides an excellent balance of heart-healthy, sustaining nutrients, including good quality protein, slow-release carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and cholesterol-reducing fiber. 

Prepared the night before, it’s an ideal quick-fix breakfast, even quicker than pouring a bowl of cereal!

1. Pour over enough skim milk to cover the muesli generously and add a splash of apple juice. Mix in the nutmeg. 

2. Leave for a couple of hours, overnight, in the fridge.

3. When you are ready to eat your Birchermuesli, remove from the fridge, stir in the grated apple, and add a dollop of natural yogurt, the almonds or seeds and a good drizzle of honey.
