When you find that breakfast that is perfect enough for every day because it a) tastes so darn good and b) is a nutritional goldmine, it’s pretty tough to get it off your mind. Welcome to our everyday breakfast routine: overnight muesli. Think of it as a cold, amped up oatmeal, or "overnight oats" as it’s called in some circles.
A Moment on the Functionality of Overnight Muesli
The simple practice of soaking grains allows the organisms and enzymes to break down within the grain and start to neutralize the phytic acid. Phytic acid is found within the hulls of nuts, seeds, and grains (things that our muesli is chalk-full of) and can be tough for your body to fully digest. By soaking your muesli in a dairy milk, nut milk, yogurt (you get the idea, any liquid), you are helping your body not only absorb the nutrients in your breakfast bowl, but you are giving your digestive system a serious helping hand.
How to Make Overnight Muesli
Now on to the good stuff: our simple approach to take the hassle out of breakfast!
The Recipe for a Seven Sundays Morning:
- 1/2 cup Seven Sundays Muesli
- 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or non), yogurt, or fruit juice
When it comes to the liquid, it's whatever floats your oats! Nut milk, dairy milk, coconut milk... whatever fits your diet and fancy will pair perfectly with your muesli. After a few days, you'll be able to ditch the measuring cups and go by feel.
Once you add your desired liquid, stick it in the fridge and let the muesli + milk do their thing. Muesli can be soaked overnight, but no worries if you forget to start the process the night before. Even after a short 10-15 minute soak, the grains will start to soften up.
