Bircher muesli is the ideal summer breakfast, though we’ve been known to eat this for dessert, too. This one combines chia with the usual oats, along with almond milk for a lighter finish to traditional yoghurt. Buy good almond milk – if you can find cold-pressed all the better – and avoid any containing sweetener and oil. We’ve topped ours with berries, cherries, banana and the crunch of the cacao nibs, for a top-notch bircher muesli to start your day.
