Superfood Bircher Muesli Recipe & Giveaway #WakeUpToOrganic

Low in fat and high in fibre, oats release their energy slowly and keeping you fuller for longer. Porridge in winter, overnight oats in summer and blended oat smoothies for brekkie on the run - oats feature most mornings for me.

I have recently had a break from my overnight oats in favour of this delicious organic Superfood Bircher Muesli, made with Flahavan’s Irish organic porridge oats. I found it on the 'Wake Up To Organic' website which hopes to encourage more people to try organic food for breakfast. Scroll right down for the recipe.

5 reasons to buy organic:

  1. Better for nature: Organic farming works with the environment as it uses fewer pesticides. It’s a way of farming that protects and encourages wildlife whilst looking after the health of the soil.
  2. Better for the planet. Organic farms use fewer pesticides and support up to 50% more wildlife.
  3. Better for animal welfare. Organic means free-range. Organic standards insist that animals are given plenty of space and fresh air to thrive and grow more naturally.
  4. Know what’s in your food. When it comes to organic, you know exactly what’s in your food. GM crops and ingredients are banned in organic farming. 
  5. It’s tasty. Organic farmers rely on developing a healthy, fertile soil to grow a mixture of crops that are bursting with flavour – so foods taste great!
