Bircher muesli for National Vegetarian 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.
