Is Raisin Bran really that healthy?

I hate it when I'm in a hurry in the morning (i.e. every morning!) and in desperation, I grab for a box of cereal. I feel like I'm being smart by skipping past the Fruit Loops my kids are eating and reach for the Raisin Bran instead. I'm thinking, "Hey, it's got raisins. It's got bran. It's good for me right?" Actually, it's not that impressive when you look at the stats. It will feel good for a little while, but I promise you'll end up craving something more a little while later.

For comparison, take a look at how you can upgrade your nutrition by swapping a bowl of raisin bran for a bowl of Todd's Power Oats Cinnamon Raisin Crunch. Both have raisins, but the similarities stop there. My high protein overnight oats pack way more protein (26 grams more!), almost double the fiber, and just a quarter of the sodium. You're welcome!

And it takes just 60 seconds to prep before you go to bed (just stir in milk and put in the fridge), so you can wake up with a smart breakfast decision already made. Plus there's no clean up...just drop the empty container in the recycling bin after you scrape the last bit of cinnamon raisin goodness from the bottom! (And with only 50 mg of sodium per serving, your cardiologist will thank you too!)

Be good to your self!
