This bircher muesli recipe contains no added sugar, honey, or dried fruit, which are common in standard bircher recipes. The apple, berries and cinnamon provide a natural sweetness without causing a big rise in blood sugar levels and the nuts, flaxseed and chia seeds help to provide both additional fibre, healthy fats and a small amount of protein for satiety.
