I love breakfast. I really, really love it.
I'm not joking when I say that I actually go to sleep thinking about it. This is actually me:
Anyway, I'm always trying to create new and delicious breakfasts to keep me going and fuel me for the entire morning. I never understand those who don't eat breakfast because...well, how can you not?
Eating breakfast is so important for your body and mind. It keeps you going for the morning, boosts your metabolism, stabilises your blood sugar levels - and who would want to miss out on all of that?
Anyway, this Apple and Blackberry Bircher Muesli is utterly delicious, and much healthier and lower in sugar than the traditional kind. Topped with a giant spoonful of hazelnut butter (because a Nutella-esque taste makes EVERYTHING taste better, right?), this is the perfect meal to get you through those cold and frosty mornings.
