Strawberry Bircher Muesli

Traditionally bircher is made with grated apples; this recipe uses strawberries to make a delicious heart-healthy spring breakfast that’s perfect for using up those very ripe, not so perfect strawberries. 

 

You can squash the berries with a fork or blend until smooth in a blender. The yoghurt adds probiotics for your gut health and creaminess to the bircher muesli; if you don’t have fresh strawberries, frozen will work ideally defrost first.
