Breakfast Bars (Oats, Sugar, Raisins, Coconut, Include Granola Bar) (1 Bar)

Choose a smaller portion—such as half a bar—and avoid bars with sugar, syrup, or sweetened dried fruit among the first ingredients.

Pair the bar with protein and fat, such as a boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Prefer bars made primarily with intact oats, nuts, seeds, and unsweetened coconut; choose versions without raisins or with only a small amount of fruit.

Add fiber by having chia seeds mixed into plain Greek yogurt or sprinkling them over a low-sugar snack alongside the bar.

Eat the bar after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, and avoid combining it with juice, sweet coffee drinks, or other refined carbohydrates.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
