Bircher Muesli - Barbara's Version

The grain ingredients, one kind of grain or several, should be soaked overnight or else used as whole grains sprouted for about three days. 

1-2 Tbsp. Oat, wheat or rye flakes or barley kernels or whole grains
1 Tbsp. Mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazels, cashews) 
1Tbsp. wheatgerm (optional) 
1 Tbsp Orange Juice (optional) 
1 Grated apple
1 Tbsp. Raisins 
1 Tbsp. Mixed nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
1 tsp. Chia seeds 
1/2 Cup Yoghurt (Goat's / Sheep's) 
1 tsp. honey or carob or molasses
1 tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon or allspice 

Put the cereal flakes or kernels and the mixed nuts in half a cupful of water to soak overnight. Add 1 tsp of lemon juice to the oats and nuts. This will help to reduce the phytic acid in the oats and nuts. Soak the raisins in the minimum of water in another cup. 

In the morning put the soaked cereals in a bowl with the yoghurt and add the raisins with their soak water. 

​Grate the apple and mix it with the orange juice.  Add the apple to the cereals and remaining ingredients. Top with a teaspoon of honey, spices, nuts and wheatgerm if desired. 

Muesli Variations

Grainless Muesli 
Use two tablespoons sunflower or sunflower and pumpkin seeds instead of the cereals, and soak overnight in the same way. 

Dairyless Muesli 
Use Coconut Yoghurt instead  of goat's/ sheep's yoghurt. 

Sprinkles
Instead of wheatgerm, or as well, try adding some sesame seeds, dried coconut, cacao nibs, bee pollen, goji berries, dried blueberries, ground flaxseeds. No more than a teaspoon each. 

For the daring, you could add a half to one teaspoon of maca or ashwagandha powder.
