Breakfast

Bircher Museli

It feels like I am on a never-ending dessert train this holiday season. I have savored the very last bite of peppermint chocolate chip gelato and worked my way emptying my favorite cookies from a tin. Overall it’s been a wonderful ride but I think I am ready for a little break.
Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast of choice whenever I need to jumpstart my system. Since I am not too crazy about cooked, hot oatmeal, I prefer the chilled overnight kind. I have shared a similar  chilled Swiss oatmeal before, this is a different variation with chia seeds and kiwi. 

Muesli was introduced around 1900 by the Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients in his hospital as a part of a healing therapy. The original recipe consists of oat flakes, raw apples, condensed milk, nuts and lemon juice (source).
