Bircher muesli with apple and kiwi fruit recipe

Muesli was originally invented in the late 1890’s by Dr Bircher Benner for his patients in a Zurich hospital. It makes a great sustaining dish for breakfast and for variety you can add any dried fruit, nut, seed or fresh fruit you like to the basic mix. It’s a really healthy breakfast dish that is perfect for making in bulk and storing in an airtight container ready to be used. Sweet, healthy and flavor-packed all in one.
