Why I love this...
If you too don't have spare time to make breakfast in the morning but also think that most Bircher muesli/overnight oat concoctions you can buy in stores are both expensive and a bit...well..average then this is your solution. I promise this takes not more than five minutes to stir together in the evening (even after a couple of glasses of wine) and as it's mixed in its container there's basically no washing up either! The chia and pumpkin seeds add some healthy protein whilst the oats provide slow-release carbs that keep you going. Cheap, quick, healthy and tasty - what more can you expect from your breakfast?
