RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Bircher Style Paleo Breakfast Muesli

I just love this grain free Bircher Style Muesli for breakfast or even as a mid-morning or afternoon snack. It’s loaded with nutrients and keeps me going for hours. The best part about it is you can tweak the recipe to make it your own by using your own combination of nuts, seeds and toppings. 
This is a great breakfast to make the night before to save time in the morning rush or even make it first up in the morning and by the time you get to work, wallah, you have yourself a nourishing breakfast or snack. 

Nourish 101:

• Apples are a great source of fibre promoting a healthy digestive system and add a natural sweetness to this recipe. 
• The combination of chia seeds, nuts and seeds add an element of healthy fat and protein helping you to feel sustained for longer. 
• Cinnamon helps to balance sugar levels preventing sweet cravings. 
• Serve with fresh berries for a boost of anti-oxidants.
