Super Delicious Overnight Bircher Muesli

We made a cat free zone in our apartment – our bedroom. There were few reasons. First one being Ryszard – almost 5 kg of a cat – trying to sleep on my face each night. Second, Lola attacking our feet in a bloody game or them both chasing each other and running across our bodies at 3 am. Ryszard is one of these smart cats which should be a character in a cartoon. He knows how to open our bedroom door! Luckily, we are smart humans who know how to use a key. At least we thought that this is smart. What we experience right now on every night basis is slightly different than before – two cats screaming behind the locked bedroom door, scratching it and jumping on a handle about 100 times per hour. I admire their spirit but there are moments when I love them slightly less after a severe night. Today I’ve learned that it will pass… after about 2 years – apparently that’s how long it takes to train a cat. In few months we will have a bigger screamer around, so Ryszard and Lola won’t have a chance. But for now, ear plugs are our liberation.

After a hard night you need a rewarding, not too complicated breakfast. Bircher muesli prepared the night before will work well over here. In the morning we simply need to add fruits, nuts, yogurt and honey.

You will need:

• 1 cup oats
• 1 cup apple juice
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
• 1 apple, grated
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• mix of roasted nuts
• mix of fruits
• bit of honey

Place oats in a bowl, add grated apple, lemon and apple juice, cover with a foil and place in a fridge for a night.

In the morning divide oats between two bowls, add roasted nuts, spoon of yogurt, fruits and pour a bit of honey.

Enjoy, Marta
