bircher with grated apple

Breakfast can get a little repetitive if you dont shake it up every now and again dont you think? I find that overnight oats or bircher is the perfect alternative to your regular porridge or cereal. The beauty of it is that it can be made the night before which allows the ingredients to marry together which makes it a more flavoursome brekkie. Not only that but when you soak oats and seeds overnight, they are easier to digest and their nutrients are better absorbed in the body.

If you wanted to, you could make a bigger batch of these and store them in a sealed container for 3 days in the fridge and add different toppings each day.
