Recipe
1.
Combine the vanilla, pear, coconut oil, yoghurt and
honey (if using) in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well
to combine. Leave to soak overnight, then enjoy for breakfast the next morning.
2.
To make one serve of traditional bircher muesli, mix
together two tablespoons rolled oats and three to four tablespoons of water in
a small bowl, then stir in one tablespoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon of
cream* and one large green apple, finely grated. Leave to soak overnight.

This breakfast is a wonderful alternative to
gluten-based muesli. It can also be enjoyed as a delicious dessert, much like a
pudding.

Tip: You can double or quadruple this mixture and store
it in a jar in the fridge for up to three days. This is also delicious made
with grated apple or half a cup of grated or mashed seasonal fruit.

nuts, seeds, grains and beans ready for cooking, sprouting or fermenting, which
in turn makes them more digestible.
