You may already know that I’m bonkers for Bircher muesli. This week, I continue to spread the word over at Diets In Review. Check out the post for a little history lesson and a tasty recipe.
Here’s a snip:
In 1900, Bircher invented the now famous “muesli cereal”. His original recipe is vastly different from the sugar-coated, toasted muesli we typically find in the grocery store today. Instead, Bircher combined soaked oats, fruit and nuts with grated apple and lemon juice to create a naturally sweet breakfast cereal designed to energize and heal the body.
For any raw foodies in the audience, be aware that rolled oats aren’t raw (they are usually steamed before packaging). However, you can sub sprouted buckwheat or whole oat groats for a totally raw breakfast treat.
Read on for the recipe…

Hi
Bircher muesli is great, but then I think most muesli is great, but that is because I am sad and work for Jordans Cereals so I get to eat a LOT of muesli as a rule. We have 50g sachets to give away, just lot onto http://www.jordanscereals.co.uk/talk-to-us/free-samples to register. Let me know what you think!
Thanks
Rachel
