\nApple Granola is lower in fat and calories than most commercial varieties of granola. Apple juice concentrate replaces oil to keep fat content low and dried apple pieces add natural sweetness. Keep on hand for a hearty breakfast, or a crunchy afternoon or bedtime snack.
\nDeluxe Oatmeal takes just minutes to make and is a wonderful start for a cool morning. One serving of oatmeal contains about 150 calories, 2.5 grams total fat, no cholesterol, five grams protein and is a great source of fiber. A serving is three-quarter cup uncooked and one cup cooked.<\/strong>
\nHealthy Banana Apple Muffins will fill you up and not out. These are almost fat-free with only a trace of polyunsaturated fat and they are also a good source of protein, potassium, iron and fiber. Each delicious muffins contains less that 175 calories.<\/p>\n
