Recipe: Vegan vanilla and berry high calcium bircher muesli

Hi everyone,

With my love for creating super nutrient dense delicious recipes, I was approached by a wonderful company, AlgaeCal to partner with them on the creation of a bircher muesli for you all that not only fits a plant based lifestyle, but that also provides 100% of your Recommended Daily Intake / Dietary Intake RDI/RDA (depending on which country you are in!) of calcium, and of course, tastes delicious!

I have been a huge fan of calcium supplements that are naturally derived from algae for years, they are tasteless, odourless, provide an abundance of bone strengthening nutrients rather than being isolated vitamins and minerals that you find in many mainstream supplements, and they are highly absorbable.

AlgeCal plant calcium is certified organic, nonGMO, and gluten, dairy and soy free for anyone that desires this.

I used the AlgaeCal Plus product in my recipe which provides a super absorbable calcium, magnesium, 70 trace minerals from AlgaeCal marine algae; and amazingly, offers a full clinical dose of vitamins D3 and K2, and added along with additional magnesium and boron.
