Sweet and salty bircher muesli

Babiche Martens

A little organisation is required for bircher muesli. Pre-soaking the oats and chia will help make this a creamy delight. I was inspired to make this sweet and salty bircher after tasting a delicious version at Mt Eden’s Rad cafe. And, because our fruit bowl was overflowing, I couldn’t resist adding a few mandarins.

Ingredients

2 cups	Rolled oats (Main)
2 Tbsp	Chia seeds, black (Main)
2 cups	Apple juice
1	Orange, cut into pieces
2	Mandarins, peeled and broken into segments
1	Persimmon, cut into chunks
1	Apple, sliced into thin sticks
½	Lemons, juiced
½ cup	Nuts, salted, roughly chopped (Main)
½ cup	Coconut shreds (Main)
1 serving	Mint leaves, for garnish

Directions

1. Into a medium-sized bowl place the oats, chia and apple juice. Allow to soak for 30 minutes or preferably overnight.
2. Add the orange, mandarins, persimmon, apple and lemon juice. Stir through until well combined.
3. Just before serving add the nuts and coconut shards. Garnish with a few mint leaves.
