Ingredients
100g muesli (I use Dorset muesli)
100g oats
1 pint soya/ oat/ hemp milk
2 apples grated
Method:
-
Cover the muesli mix with your choice of milk, until just immersed.
-
Grate in the 2 apples and mix in, so that all the apple is submerged.
-
Cover and chill overnight.
-
Before serving, you may need to loosen up with more milk, as oats will have expanded.
-
Serve up with fresh berries, chia or flax seeds, and toasted flaked almonds. A spoon of yoghurt and sprinkle of cinnamon make nice additions also.
-
Keeps in fridge for 3-4 days
