A balanced start to the day is the basis for a good, sustainable diet. Bircher muesli – the breakfast classic from Switzerland – is particularly popular. We give it a whole new appearance: as a delicious, nutty drink, rounded off with the fruity flavor of raisins and fresh apple pieces.

This lentil salad with roasted winter vegetables can be prepared in a relaxed way and keeps in the fridge for a few days. Especially practical: The vinaigrette will not soften the vegetables, so you can store and transport the salad very easily. Lentils are not only inexpensive, but also very nutritious and varied. They have virtually no fat and have the highest protein content, making them the stars among legumes. Thanks to their high content of complex carbohydrates and in particular fiber, they also ensure that the blood sugar level remains stable and that a longer feeling of satiety is created. Combined with spelt and many different seasonal vegetables, this salad ensures a balanced, healthy lunch for several days.
