DRIED FRUIT & NUT GRANOLA

 

Healthy Eating for Pregnancy
by Amanda Grant
This is easy and quick to make, and will last for a good few breakfasts; just keep it in an airtight jar. To make the granola toddler or baby-friendly, puree in a food processor to a powder. However, avoid giving it to babies or toddlers with nut allergies.
Oats, wheat germ, and dried fruit are all rich in fiber, which helps with digestion, and nuts and seeds are a good source of protein. Dried cranberries help to fight bladder, kidney, and urinary-tract infections.
