After Yom Tov, many people are eager to get back on a healthful track. A reset on the basic foundations of healthy and balanced eating is key. There’s a lot to say for balancing food groups, managing portion sizes, and eating at specific times as nutrition strategies. Keep track of how your meal and snack options are making you feel. You want to be sure the foods you eat are actually filling and satisfying. All too often, people think starving is the only way to manage weight and health. In reality, it’s the opposite.

Granola is a great option for a whole grain that keeps you fuller longer, yet it’s often controversial because the additives and portion sizes can make it less healthful. This recipe offers both filling fiber and satisfying protein with less sweetener. Try about a quarter cup as a snack by itself, in a smoothie, or paired with your favorite yogurt!
