My search for a healthy granola..................

I don't know about you, but I love granola.  The problem is that most granola is heavy on the fat and sugar.  I located this in the grocery store isle and thought I would give it a try.  Wow!  This granola is so yummy.  I am typically in carpool, so I portion it out correctly in my saved to-go oatmeal container (check my previous post on the new Quaker Real Medley oatmeal) with milk and a spoon and go.

Let me count the ways to why this is so good for you:
  • 35 grams of whole grain/serving (48 grams is recommended daily)
  • Excellent source of fiber at a whopping 5 grams/serving
  • Good source of protein with 5 grams per serving
  • Only 9 grams of sugar per serving
  • 0, yes 0 cholesterol
  • Only 90 mg sodium per serving
Another wonderful fact is the serving size is 1 cup, not a measly 2/3 cup as other granolas.  If you haven't tried this, I would highly recommend it.  Add it to low-fat greek yogurt or make your own trail mix by adding raisins and walnuts.

For those following the Sensibalance Food BAR Program, 1 serving=3 carb, 1 protein, and 1 fat food bar.
