Spelt and Coconut Bircher Muesli

This is a kick ass way to start the day. All the better because you do the prep work the night before and just spoon in the next day. I went through a phase last summer of preparing Bircher muesli in baby food jars so I had my brekkie ready to go the next day. Such a great way to make sure you get a good hit of nutrients when you are rushing around in the morning. 

This muesli recipe has the added benefit of being pretty virtuous. I mixed spelt rolled oats with about 1/4 cup organic coconut paste (amazing ingredient, especially for diabetics like me as it's lower carb than it's sweetening counterparts and is completely natural). I also added 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit and around six figs, sliced lengthways. Stir together with 1/2 cup low fat milk and 1/2 cup low fat organic yoghurt (the one I buy is lower in sugar than full fat, check the label). To serve I topped with extra yoghurt, strawberries and some whole Brazil nuts.
