Raw Pear, Coconut & Chia Bircher Muesli
This breakfast will leave you full and energized, never bloated, and keep you powering through the morning. It's the perfect combination of plant-powered protein, slow-release wholegrain carbohydrates, and essential fats, that will make your tummy and brain cells sing. A great alternative to store-bought cereals, most of which are full of refined sugars, over-processed grains, and have little to no nutrients left.

White mulberries - substitue with Goji Berries, dried apricot or dried fig.
Currants - switch to sultanas or raisins.
