    Loved this recipe; it is rather expensive to buy all the ingredients, but it's worth it - very healthy and nice topped with any fresh fruit you've got to hand

    Healthy, easy, and delicious. I like to mix my muesli with plain non-fat yoghurt the night before, and leave it to "soak" overnight in the fridge, then add some fresh fruit in the morning: makes a lovely (and fast) spring/summer work day morning breakfast.

    Brilliant, I have printed this for my husband; now he can not say he doesn't like what ever is IN the muesli, as he will make it himself! thanks Paulina (Brussles)

    I have been using the 'Food and Drink' programme recipe since pre 1990, which includes Wheat Flakes , but I will now give this one a try. With the original recipe I omit the Brazil and Hazelnuts and the Figs but add Cranberries and a chopped ready to eat Apricot and Prune.

    I made this for my husband and children and they loved it. I also added 3 cups of Rice Krispies, some extra dried fruit and a cup of dessicated coconut. Delicious, and good to know exactly what you are eating.

    This has the "seven" star rating in our house to match the ingredients and has become our breakfast staple sprinkled over cereal. The first time I made it I was able to use up all the half packets of leftover nuts and dried fruit lurking in my cupboard. I substitute pumpkin seeds for the sesame seeds.

    I thought I would make up a batch of this to have as cereal in the mornings so I tried to do multiply the receipe by 4.. The only nut mix I could fix was quite salty so not sure how that is going to go.. I also put in roasted sunflower seeds.. Am I supposed to toast the seasame seeds? They don't seem to taste of much raw so putting them in the oven.. I also got a very small packet so wondering if I got the right thing?

    A cup is a cup as opposed to a mug?? They are pretty average in size and as you would be using the same cup for all the ingredients so it doesn't really matter as long as you use the same cup :O)
