Bircher muesli is a Swis invention from the turn of the last century. It consists of rolled oats, apple, milk and other ingredients to shake it up - we've used chia seeds, yogurt and some extra fruit. This is best when it's left to soak overnight, so you'll have a healthy, fuss-free breakfast ready to go in the morning.
