Step by step

Get ahead

Make to the end of step 1 up to 4 days ahead.

Mix together the oats, oatmeal, if using, apple juice, yogurt, figs, carrot, orange zest and juice, and the pistachios. At this stage, you can keep the muesli covered in the fridge for a few days.
Before eating, stir in the pear, banana and berries, and drizzle with honey.
Tip
This is a really easy do-ahead breakfast. Its name originates from the Swiss doctor Dr Bircher-Benner who created this type of muesli
