Bircher Muesli - a delicious and healthy start to your day

Bircher Muesli is a delicious basic mix of apple juice, milk, grated apple and oatmeal. You can customise it though - add your favourite unflavoured yogurt - coconut, Greek, strained, low-fat or full-fat. Add plain rolled oats. I do add chia seeds to mine and I think that any kind of seeds are an acceptable addition. You can leave it to soak overnight if you prefer a softer texture, but it's not necessary.
