In this healthy breakfast I am combining a group of super foods that your body needs to funtion at optimal level.
OATS
is one of the world healthiest foods. Oats are rich in a special fiber called beta-glucan. This fiber helps lower bad cholesterol. Medically it is stated that women require 25 grams of fiber per day while men is 38 grams. The good news is that 1 cup of oats contain 8.2 grams of fiber. Oats is good for you, the total benefit of oats will be another topic.
RAISINS
When grapes are dehydrated to produce RAISINS, the nutrients become more concentrated. A handful of raisins are rich in B Vitamins, Iron and potassium. They are also a perfect source of carbohydrates for energy.

A handful of ALMOND contain the following:
Fiber, Protein, Monounsaturated fat, Vitamin E, Manganese and Magnesium
