Homemade Swiss Muesli

I know you’re thinking that the Swiss guys at the CBC called their Mom’s over the weekend for this recipe - And you just might be right! This recipe is perfect for any day of the week. The best part is that it can be prepared and stored in the fridge for a great nutritious breakfast (or lunch) whenever your hunger pangs call.

Don’t be afraid to experiment and add whatever fruit your heart desires. Dried fruit is also nice but high in sugar content. Personally I like to add a teaspoon of vanilla and some mixed berry yoghurt. It is best to buy nuts which are sold in the baking section of your supermarket, as they’re usually not roasted and do not have added salt.

Ingredients:

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
1-2 apple, peeled and grated
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (toasted tastes better but is not necessary)
1 cup low-fat yogurt (any flavour you wish)
Preparation:

Combine oats, milk and honey and leave soaking in the refrigerator overnight.
Next morning, add the grated apple, hazelnuts and yogurt.
