Day 4 of the morning passion breakfast challenge. Welcome Overnight Muesli! Swiss doctor, Maximilian Bircher-Benner invented muesli in the early 1900s as a healthful meal for his patients. It’s like granola but isn’t cooked. It’s soaked in milk and served like a cold porridge.

I always used to eat this cold, but I’m generally a hot-food person in the morning. So, I heated it up after soaking it overnight. And now I love the hot version even more. Do what your body feels to eat it hot or cold. There’s no right way.
.
Making this today made me really happy. I haven’t had chia seeds and oatmeal together since I was in Croatia. I know it’s random. But, when I was traveling I found it hard to eat healthy in the morning. I couldn’t travel with my health pantry. (I traveled with cinnamon though). And there were new pastries to try in each place! Lol
.
But I found these instant oat-chia packets at the market in Croatia and it kept me right on track. Just add hot water and good to go. It was a delicious combo I never tried.
.
Eating this warm bowl took me straight back to mornings in Croatia. Then, I’d have enough energy to teach kids English online and start cooking meals for my crew. If I was lucky, I’d have time to jump into the Adriatic Sea. It sounds unreal now!

If you’ve never been to Croatia, please go! (When safe) #misstravel
