Bircher Muesli
It's snowing, again. I thought the ground hog said winter was over. I guess he was wrong. I'm seriously thinking about kicking him for getting my hopes up. I'm that tired of winter.
And when I am cold, I don't want to move. I don't want to clean, do laundry go to work, or even cook. Sadly, my family still thinks I am supposed to feed them. Rude, right?
So after lying on the couch under a pile of blankets perusing my cookbooks, I decided to make easy breakfasts for the week. I found this recipe for Bircher Muesli in my cookbook, Clean Green Eats by Candice Kumai.
If you are unfamiliar with muesli, you are not alone. It was a introduced in the 1900s by Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Benner, who prescribed his patients a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as part of their therapy. It is very similar to overnight oats, but we will call it whatever the cookbook says.

My mother in law told me this was the best oatmeal she'd ever had. My husband liked it better without coconut. I personally loved it. It gave me the energy I needed to start my day, and I stayed full until dinner.
You can lessen the calories by changing the trail mix and yogurt brands. Play with it and let me know your preferred combinations.
