This mixed spice muesli is packed with tasty nuts and seeds and comes with a choice of three toppings.
If you like to start your day with cereal, this is a really great option. You can make it in a big batch to eat over the course of the next week, but you won't get bored of it. Just change up the toppings to suit how you feel - or mix and match to make your own. Our favourite is the pumpkin and pomegranate option. The juicy burst of the fresh pomegranate seeds is a sensory delight. This recipe makes three portions but if you just double everything you've got enough for almost a whole week. The muesli will keep in a sealed container in a cool place, for up to a fortnight.
