NOTES

NUTRITION

Total sugar (per serving): 28 g, including 11 g of added sugar from the granola.
For a heart-healthy recipe and to reduce calories by 90, replace whole milk powder with non-fat milk powder.
We recommend reading food labels and choosing full-fat granola without dried fruit to maximize the calorie-to-weight ratio.
