To continue celebrating National Vegetarian Week, here’s a great vegan version of the classic breakfast, bircher muesli. It’s super healthy, only takes 15 minutes to prepare (then overnight in the fridge) and is perfect for the working week.
The traditional Swiss recipe combines oats, raw apples, condensed milk, nuts and lemon juice. Its creator, Dr Bircher-Benner, found that it radically improved the health of many of his patients. This recipe is even healthier as it’s made completely from vegan ingredients.
Thanks to our friends, Vegan Punks, for sharing this one with us, and don’t forget to check out the video below to see this recipe come to life.
