[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yogurt and granola are healthy, high in protein and fiber and maybe healthy fats. [/quote]

Only if it’s plain yogurt and granola with very little sugar. Most commercial granolas have a lot of sugar. If you make your own or use just plain yogurts, oats, and add some honey or maple sugar and fruit, then it’s healthy. [/quote]

I love making my own granola.  It’s easy and the house smells delicious. [/quote]

Me too!  I just made some with seeds from the pumpkin we carved.  This time is was just oats, honey, pumpkin seeds, cardamom, and oil, but usually I put in a ton of nuts (nut free relative is coming to stay this weekend).  I only like cereal type things for breakfast and having nutty granola with yogurt (I always buy plain yogurt; it’s cheaper and I can throw in jam or maple syrup if in want flavour) instead of bran flakes or cheerios actually keeps me full until lunch.

The thing I’ve been tracking recently is how much highly processed foods had crept into my diet.  The granola is a great example — for a while I was buying Quaker Oats pre-made granola for convenience — and then I was looking up brands I used a lot on a HPF website and even that granola which shouldn’t have required more than four ingredients counted as highly processed!  It’s still hard to avoid them (I have toddlers and cheerios and goldfish are regular things in purchase) but I’m been trying to avoid things like pre-grated cheese and bread even if it makes some types of cooking quicker and easier because those are things I can super easily do for myself at home and not have to worry about preservatives and additives and such.[/quote]
