cookOrange-Date Muesli with Coconut and Cacao Nibs

Muesli is a cold porridge of oats, fruit, and yogurt that softens overnight in the refrigerator. If you don’t have time to prepare it the night before, don’t worry. You can omit the oats and make a breakfast parfait with the orange (use one large orange), date, yogurt, cacao nibs, and coconut. From: bonappetit.com SERVES 1
