Fresh Summer Breakfast with a Healthy Kick: A Recipe for Cold Summer Porridge
It's time to shake up your breakfast routine and try something new - a fresh summer breakfast with a healthy kick. In this video, we're going to show you how to make a delicious and nutritious cold summer porridge that's perfect for starting your day off right.
To begin, we'll need some basic ingredients: 30 grams of porridge oats, two apples, a squeeze of lemon juice, natural yogurt, desicated coconut, and fresh berries. That's it! We're not using any fancy or processed ingredients, just simple, wholesome foods that will provide us with the energy and nutrients we need to take on the day.
First, let's start by adding our porridge oats to a bowl. A handful of about 30 grams should be plenty for one serving. Next, we'll grate two apples using a box grater - yes, you read that right, box grater! We want to get down to the core on all four sides, skin and all, because this will release even more healthy nutrients into our porridge. And that's exactly what we're going for here - a cold summer porridge that's packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Now, let's talk about the origins of this amazing breakfast dish. It's called Bircham, and it was actually created by a Swiss physician named Maximillion Bira Benner. He made it specifically for his hospital patients because he knew that it would be incredibly healthy for them. And boy, was he right! This porridge is like a powerhouse of nutrition - with the added bonus of being surprisingly sweet.
While we're waiting to grate our apples, let's add some squeeze of lemon juice to our bowl. This will not only add a burst of citrus flavor but also help prevent the oats from becoming too dry and clumpy. And don't worry if you accidentally get any juice on your hands or clothes - it's all part of the process!
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let's stir everything together in a big bowl. We'll start by adding the grated apples, followed by some natural yogurt to keep things smooth and creamy. Then, we'll add a tablespoon of desicated coconut for sweetness - because who doesn't love a little bit of tropical flavor with their breakfast? Finally, we'll top it all off with fresh berries and... wait, what about honey or condensed milk? Don't worry, those are optional - you can always add them if you prefer. But trust me, the natural sweetness of the coconut and apples is more than enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.
And that's where we get creative! We're going to add some dried fruit like cranberries, blueberries, or even dates to give our porridge a little extra kick. You can also throw in some nuts for crunch and texture - hazelnuts work great here. The possibilities are endless!
So, how do you know when it's ready? Simply take a spoonful of your delicious cold summer porridge and taste it. If it needs a bit more sweetness, add that honey or condensed milk I was telling you about earlier. And voila! Your breakfast is served.
The best part about this recipe is that you can take it with you on-the-go - just toss it into a Tupperware container and you're good to go! Whether you're heading off to work, school, or the gym, this cold summer porridge will give you the energy and nutrients you need to power through your day.
In conclusion, this recipe is a game-changer for anyone looking to spice up their breakfast routine. With its simple ingredients and amazing nutritional benefits, it's no wonder that Bircham has become a beloved breakfast dish in Switzerland. Give it a try today and see what all the fuss is about!
