Why Your Granola Is Really a Dessert - The New York Times
i've been on a muesli train for quite some time because of this. Check the package of your granola before you dollop piles on your yogurt!
Avoid Fast Food, Avoid Sugar at Breakfast

annefood 8yr 30 g of sugar in the article- yikes!The kind I just ate has 6g sugar per half cup, sweetened with molasses and honey. It also has organic nuts, seeds, oats, unsweetened coconut and spices. I mix in a few spoonfuls of raw unsweetened oats, and eat it with sliced banana and almond milk. Could be better, but this one is pretty good. It's important to read the label! -
garv 8yr I add flax seeds & sun flower seeds to up the nutrition quotient. Try alternating between banana & dates , works brilliantly

JenniferEmilson 8yr It's kinda scary, since granola is touted as 'good for you' food! That's why I make ours- can totally control how sweet it is. And what goes in it ☺️ -
darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr @JenniferEmilson I totally agree! My dad likes to buy the Trader Joe's Vanilla Almond granola but he now eats it at night for dessert. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Great tips @annefood @garv @Jenniferemilson @darkchocolatepeanutbutter! One thing to watch out for is those store packaged parfaits. One that I picked up at the airport had 55g of sugar!!!

annefood And then the chunks of bread that are a little crispy start to soak up the tomato juice and olive oil...... 😍😍😍

DietID_TeamDietitians I know I let this sit for 5 minutes before eating and it was glorious!
My new favorite quick meal hack - cooking with cracked wheat!
Cracked wheat is a low glycemic index grain that cooks up super fast just by adding boiling water. You can season it like you would a fried rice, or toss with veggies. This meal took a total of 8 m...

annefood Looks great, @Rachna!

garv Ooh nice. Gonna try this one. Any pointers ?

DietID_TeamDietitians @garv my favorite combo was peach, lime, and mint. The lime gets pretty overpowering, so one slice is all you need.
