Or try this one
200g rolled oats (about 2 cups)
350ml apple juice or milk (about 11/2 cups)
1 red apple (Granny Smith, Pink Lady or Fuji)
125g natural or low-fat yoghurt
Seasonal fresh fruit (such as berries, bananas, peaches and apricots), to decorate
Runny honey, to drizzle
Handful of toasted almonds, to serve

1 Place the oats in a bowl and cover with enough apple juice or milk to moisten them. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and chill for an
hour, or preferably overnight, in the fridge.
2 Peel the apple if you prefer, then coarsely grate (discarding the pips) and stir into the oats. Stir in enough yoghurt to reach a desired consistency. You could also add more milk, yoghurt or apple juice to loosen the mixture if it is too thick.
3 Serve the muesli in individual bowls topped with the seasonal berries of your choice or a sliced banana, then drizzle with a little
honey.
4 Sprinkle with the toasted almonds or with pistachios or seeds.
