Do you eat breakfast? I don’t think I could ever be one of those people who skip it. My stomach would never let me.
Breakfast can be a bit of a challenge around here lately with three little mouths to feed as well as my own but thankfully the boys are happy with some cereal as entree while I prepare something else.
I have to be quick though especially if bubba is still asleep - I never know when she'll need me.
I try to do what I can the night before and one of my favourites is Bircher muesli.
You can mix up a big batch and have breakfast pretty much ready for most of the week which is very handy when you have other hungry mouths to feed.
The other thing I like about this is you can change up the flavours each day.
The base is made of just oats, grated apple and apple juice/water.
Then the next morning you add something to make it creamy (I go with yoghurt), extra fruit and nuts and seeds.
If you're doing individual serves you can do coconut milk or any other type of milk the night before but I wouldn't leave it for more than 24 hours.
My favourite combo is plain Greek yoghurt, raspberries, walnuts and a few seeds sprinkled on top.
If you have breakfast on the go, you could also make it in individual jars to grab and go. Enjoy!

I love a good bircher muesli and this looks like a yummy recipe. I find that the cold press apple juice makes it taste so good! Liz x

I love your presentation. I never had a starving child - I've always had to strap them into the high chair and force them to eat. I do love bircher muesli and this looks wonderful xx
