Expert Tips

Almonds supply omega-3 fatty acids that may help reduce risk of heart disease. They're loaded with unsaturated fats so don't go nuts with your portions

My family absolutely loved this healthy alternative to trail mix. I wanted a little more variety so I substituted two cups of the cereal for 1 cup of bran Chex and 1 cup of Fiber One. I also used Splenda brown sugar and added a few walnuts. I can't wait until Spring Break is over so I can take it to work to the teacher's lounge.
