The beauty of making your own muesli is that you can add your favourite grains, fruit, nuts and seeds, or whatever you have to hand. If strawberries are out of season, use any other berries you like for an antioxidant boost, or try chopped pear or apple.

4 tbsp quinoa flakes or millet flakes
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 tsp hemp seeds
2 Brazil nuts, chopped
2 walnuts, broken into pieces

Pumpkin seeds, walnuts and flaxseeds are a great non-fish source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which benefit the eyes, brain and skin. Sunflower seeds are also brimming with selenium and vitamin E.
