This recipe comes from the Two Raw Sisters second cookbook. I really love a proper Bircher Museli but I’m rarely organised enough to prepare it the night before. Many of the recipes are also incredibly sweet, which doesn’t support a healthy microbiome. This version contains grated carrot, which is naturally sweet and contains phytochemicals that your gut loves!
