Berry Bircher

There is nothing quite like bircher to make you feel on top of life in the morning. A pre-prepared, wholesome breakfast that gets you started for the day.  Makes 4 serves Ingredients 1 cups whole grain oats ¼ cup shredded coconut ¼ cup sunflower seeds ¼ cup pumpkin seeds 1 tbsp chia seeds ½ tsp cinnamon 1 ½ cups frozen berries 1 cup milk 1 cup plain yoghurt  Topping ¼ cup slivered almonds Shredded coconut Extra berries Instructions In a mixing bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the frozen berries, then stir through the milk and yoghurt. Stir well. Cover and chill overnight in the fridge. This allows the oats to soften and milk to absorb into the oats.  The next morning, give the bircher a stir and divide between four bowls/containers. Top with extra coconut and almonds  Notes: To save time in the morning, divide the bircher into four airtight containers before you chill in the fridge overnight. Then come the morning, give it a stir and any extra toppings before you hit the road.
