Muesli with Raisins, Dates and Almonds (1 Cup)

Reduce the serving size of the muesli and measure it rather than eating directly from the package.

Choose an unsweetened muesli made primarily with rolled or steel-cut oats, and avoid versions containing dates, raisins, honey, syrup, or added sugar.

Replace some or all dried fruit with fresh berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.

Add protein and fat by eating it with plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened soy yogurt, plus almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or ground flaxseed.

Avoid eating the muesli by itself or when very hungry; have it after a protein-rich meal or alongside eggs or tofu.

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