Must-try muesli

After years of juggling homeschooling, being at home 24/7 and still carrying on a career, many women are feeling stressed and exhausted. Hemp Seed Bircher is one of my most prescribed recipes right now. It is high in quality protein, rich in healthy fats, magnesium and potassium. It ticks the fibre box, helping us flush out excess stress hormones. And it tastes delicious too!

Hemp Seed Bircher (Serves 4)

Ingredients

1 cup hemp seeds

¼ cup whole flaxseeds (linseeds)

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp vanilla powder

1 cup coconut yoghurt + 1.5 cups coconut milk

2 apples grated

1 tbsp raw (or manuka) honey

Directions: Place hemp, flax and chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, yoghurt and coconut milk in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and place in the fridge to soak overnight.

The next morning, grate the apple and mix through the seed mixture with the honey.

Split into 4 servings and top with a little more yoghurt and a handful of walnuts. Enjoy!

Note: You can buy hemp seeds from Flame Tree Community Co-Op, IGA or Taylor’s Healthy Grocers or online from Honest to Goodness Organics.
