BREAKFAST

Swiss müesli

Dr. Bircher-Benner was the first to serve this cereal at his Zurich clinic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He used a balanced, close to vegetarian diet -including cereals, fruit, vegetables and nuts- to heal his patients. He changed the way people ate in the 19th century.

Cooking Tips

Store the cereal in the fridge for up to a week.

Use no-stick cooking spray to coat the baking sheet -faster, but without the taste of butter.

Instead of serving the cereal with fresh apple, add 1 cup chopped dried apple slices to the cereal at the same time you add the nuts.
