Granola Cereal (1 Cup)

Reduce the granola portion and measure it rather than pouring freely; pair it with plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened soy yogurt.

Choose a granola with no added sugars, minimal dried fruit, and higher amounts of nuts, seeds, and fiber.

Add chia seeds, ground flaxseed, walnuts, or almonds to slow digestion and increase fullness.

Use fresh berries such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries instead of sweetened yogurt, honey, syrup, or dried fruit.

Have the granola as part of a meal containing protein, such as eggs or cottage cheese, rather than eating it alone.

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