I've collaborated with P am's Superfoods to produce this delicious breakfast recipe. I'm quite careful when asked to promote brands as they need to be products I actually like and would buy, this is certainly one of them. I am so pleased that these 'luxury' food products are now accessible and affordable for the every-day cook. I have used their Black Chia Seeds and Cacao Nibs to produce this easy weekday breakfast with two topping options.

I like to make a big bowl on Sunday night and have it as a quick and easy weekday breakfast. The bircher keeps for 3 days, make toppings fresh on the day.
