bircher museli, your new breakfast

museli2 museli4While in Bali, Evan and I ate like kings. We literally planned our day based on where or what we wanted to eat. This was especially true in Ubud, where we were spoiled by choice. However, I have to say that one of my favorite breakfasts was in Canggu at the Samadi Bali yoga center: bircher museli.
Now, I woke up early to practice a Mysore ashtanga yoga class (which I had never done before, but truly loved it. I’ll share more about this experience later), and then after my 1.5 hour sesh, I would visit their wellness center and order a masala dosa (Indian breakfast) and wait on Evan to scooter over from surfing. He would order this wet museli, which we had never tried before. Bircher museli is essentially museli that has been soaked in milk or fruit juice overnight (or at least half n hour). Interesting, but so tasty.
So once we got back to Puerto Rico, we had a list of delicious meals we couldn’t wait to try out. This was one of them, and here is my recipe.
What You Need
3 cups of rolled oats
1/2 cup of nuts (I had cashews and peanuts)
1/2 cup of raisins
1/3 cup coconut shreds
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1/4 cup flax seeds
1 cup of fruit juice or milk (I used apple juice)
yoghurt
honey
fresh fruit
What To Do
Combine all ingredients to flax seeds, and stir to mix together. Remove a serving size from the mix (1 or 2 cups) and place in a bowl with a lid. Add your fruit juice in a 1:1 ratio. The juice should just cover the museli, so that the liquid will be soaked up by everything (you don’t want to drown the museli). Place covered in the fridge overnight, or at least 30 minutes. When ready to eat, scoop your bircher museli into a bowl, add a dollop of yogurt, some sliced fruit and drizzle with honey. Enjoy!

    Chelsea this looks divine! Your food photography skills are on point here- it’s not easy to make muesli look this good! I’ll have to scoot over to Samadi to try this out (and the dosa) ;) x x
