Kitz Special Bircher Meusli


I don’t know about you but the best part about travelling was staying at nice hotels and feasting on the wonderful Bircher Meusli’s prepared by international chefs.. not that I got to do that very much! but it is a great memory. BUT. guess what I have found something to replace it and I think these one are soo much better anyway, it’s just the atmosphere of the holiday that’s not there.. but thats ok because the flavour makes up for that.

Goji Bircher with Strawberries & Grapes

Ingredients:
2 tbs almonds, walnuts or cashews
1/2 cup buckies or a Kitz Choc chip goji bar
2 tbs chia or flax seed
1 banana
1/4 cup goji berries
1/4 cup sultanas or dates (or both if you wish)

Preparation:
If you are using Kitz sprouted almonds or walnuts add them to your blender, if not then they should be soaked in filtered water overnight. Also soak the chia and or flax overnight. Add the remaining ingredients and blend slowly until you reach the desired consistancy. You will only need to blend for a very short time to get it nice and chunky, if you overdo it it will turn into a porridge which is ok if you like it like that. Sprinkle some sliced fruit on the top and enjoy. You may omit the fruit and add it all the the blender if you wish. This is a very quick and easy breakfast as are all of the Kitz Special Birchers.
Enjoy,
NOTE: If you are rushing off to work put it into a sealed container and take with you so that you can enjoy it without rushing, good food should be eated in a calm, relaxed atmosphere for proper digestion. :)
If you are going to make this in advance, you don’t need to soak the chia or flax as it will soak in the mix, remember that it will soak up some of the liquid when you do it this way.
