recipe Tweaking Tuesday ....... Originating in Switzerland at the beginning of the 20th century, when Dr Bircher-Benner invented it as a part of ensuring that his patients had a healthy diet, muesli has lasted the test of time and has grown into many different variations in the past century. At its most basic, muesli consists of; rolled (flaked) oats, grain(s), nuts, seeds, and dried fruit; it differs from granola in that it is less sweet (in North America, granola tends to have rice or maple syrup added to it) and is not roasted (although muesli can be toasted if wished). If you want to increase your fiber intake and save money at the same time, muesli makes the perfect breakfast food. Its easy to make your own at home, allowing you to skip undesirable additives often found in pre-packaged muesli. Moreover, you can vary the ingredients as much as wished to suit your own preferences. Dr Bircher-Benners real muesli: 3 tbsp medium oatmeal or 4 tbsp rolled oats 135ml water 180ml live, natural yoghurt 4 tsp (20 ml) lemon juice 4 tbsp (60 ml) honey 800g dessert apples, well scrubbed 4 tbsp (60 grams) unblanched almonds or hazelnuts, finely chopped
