Make enough muesli for three mornings with this recipe – it takes only minutes to prepare. Zinc-rich pumpkin seeds help lift the winter brain fog while nuts are a good plant source of protein. We used hazelnut milk fortified with calcium, vitamins D and B12. If you’re not vegan, you can use whole cow’s milk.

Ingredients
250g gluten-free porridge oats
75g blanched hazelnuts, halved
75g pumpkin seeds
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
75g sulphur-free dried apricots, chopped
20g air-dried apple fruit crisps
3 x 200ml oat or hazelnut milk
3 x 80g blueberries
Directions
1. Toast the porridge oats in a frying pan over a gentle heat, stirring frequently. Turn off the heat and stir in the nuts, seeds and cinnamon until fully combined.
2. Tip into a large bowl, stirring to help it cool, then add the fruit, breaking the apple crisps into smaller pieces. Toss and tip two-thirds into an airtight container for another day. Will keep for up to two weeks. Serve the rest in two bowls with 100ml milk and 40g berries in each.
