TOASTED GRANOLA CEREAL image

This high-protein cereal with added milk is about the healthiest food you can choose for breakfast. It has complete protein, high fiber and, depending on your serving size, modest fat, modest sugar, low salt and no cholesterol. And if you prepare it yourself, you know there are no chemicals or additives and it is not overly sweet.
