SPRINGTIME CEREAL

Serves 2
Provides 1½ fruit servings per person

People everywhere eat cereal for breakfast, but I have something even better! This crunchy and creamy breakfast treat starts your day with pure contentment. First, mix ¾ cup wheat and barley nugget cereal with ¼ cup of a bran cereal, toasted sunflower seeds, and toasted sliced almonds. This provides you with crispy crunchy dietary fiber. Now, add 1 tablespoon of plump raisins and ½ cup each of banana and strawberry slices, to add some vitamin C, potassium, and iron. For creamy texture, stir in 1 cup of low-fat raspberry yogurt and scatter another ½ cup of strawberry slices on top. You'll have a fast, energy-packed breakfast.

¾ cup wheat and barley nugget cereal
¼ cup 100% bran cereal
2 teaspoons toasted sunflower seeds
2 teaspoons toasted sliced almonds
1 tablespoon raisins
½ cup sliced bananas
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup low-fat raspberry or strawberry yogurt

1. Mix the wheat and barley nugget cereal, bran cereal, sunflower seeds, and almonds in a medium bowl. Add the raisins, the bananas, and halve the strawberries.

2. Gently stir in the yogurt and divide between 2 bowls. Scatter the remaining strawberries over the top and enjoy!
