Granola

Sure the calorie count might not seem so bad, making you think granola is a healthy and easy-to-pack breakfast or snack. But take a closer look — the average serving size for granola is usually ¼ or ½ cup. Pretty tiny, if you ask us!

You can easily make homemade granola. Get the recipe here.
