You’re
either a morning person or you’re not. I’m a late riser. For me, 7.30am is
early – if I’m up before 6am it’s because I’m off to the airport.
This leaves
me no time for breakfast prep in the morning, which is why I’m so enthusiastic
about my simple oats discovery: Bircher muesli. It’s not new, of course – Swiss
physician Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Benner invented it as a nutritional pick-me-up
for his sanatorium patients in the 1900s. You can buy a ready-made pot of Bircher muesli from Pret A Manger
or Eat, but a quick calculation of cost + time + effort shows making your own
batch at home is a no-brainer.
